Six monkeys found in the car
While being on patrol, the police noticed a car which was carrying many bags on November 26 on Phong Dinh Cang Street. They pulled the car over and discovered 10 bamboo rats, six monkeys and two weasels. The animals were dead when they were found.
Driver Luong Van Linh, born in 1970, said he was hired by a man named Phuong from Ha Tinh Province to carry the animals to Vinh City for VND100,000 (USD4.27).
The animals have been transferred to the forest rangers in Vinh City. The investigation is also expanded.
In April, police in Nghe An seized two dead tigers kept in glass jars found on a coach. On June 5, two men were caught and detained for wild animal trading. The police seized five dead tiger cubs which were kept in a box. They were supposed to be sold for VND62m (USD2,600).
