Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>Mozambican police have detained three men in possession of two rhinoceros horns that they intended to sell in the country\u2019s capital, the police said on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The men, aged between 28 and 41, were arrested on Friday night along National Road Number 4, said Carminia Leite, police spokeswoman in Maputo province.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe police reached them through a tip-off. The horns were in a briefcase and they were travelling in a van transporting passengers to Maputo,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

The men said they were intermediaries and that they had received the horns from their boss in Moamba district, on the outskirts of Maputo.<\/p>\n

The group was detained, Leite said, calling for rhinoceros horns not to be smuggled as they are a \u201cprotected and endangered species in the country.<\/p>\n
