A collaborative operation involving ANAC and SERNIC successfully resulted in the apprehension of individuals found in possession of ivory tusks.
Three suspects were involved, with one managing to escape, while the other two were apprehended in possession of two ivory tusks weighing 12 kilograms. They claim to have come across the dead animal and taken the ivory as they found it, but the investigating team harbors suspicions that this may not be the truth.
The team believes that the suspects might have played a role in the killing of the animal, and one of them may be in possession of a homemade firearm or an AK47. The confiscated ivory tusks have been transferred to SERNIC Gorongosa for further examination and investigation.
