10 armadillos seized in raid

 

SEREMBAN, Nov 9:

--

 

The State Department for the Protection of Wildlife and National Parks

today seized 10 armadillos, weighing a total of 30kg, during a raid at

a house in Air Kuning, Rantau, near here.

Department deputy director Sabaruddin Mat Kari said a 54-year-old man

was also detained.

 

He said the man was believed to be waiting for a potential buyer to arrive.

 

The 10 armadillos are worth about RM2,200.

 

" The man, who had a licence to catch certain species of snakes, will

be charged under Section 64(1) of the Wildlife Protection Act 1972

which carries a maximum RM5,000 fine, three years' jail or both upon

conviction, " he said.

 

Sabaruddin said an Indonesian man in his thirties was also detained at

a house nearby for keeping a python, which like the armadillos, was

classified as a protected species.
