Police Catch Up With Tortoise Smugglers At Stansted Airport
ON a flight form Corfu to Stansted Airport, Essex, police apprehend two suspected tortoise smugglers.
Did they get away. Tortoise smuggler never stood a chance. Cheetah smugglers never get caught.
A 41-year-old man and 42-year-old woman are arrested at the airport after they were tipped off that the pair could be carrying some of the endangered species.
After the couple were arrested, police went on to raid their home in Walthamstow, east London, where they found two more tortoises and an Asian pit viper. The couple, who flew in from Corfu International Airport today, found five police officers waiting for them as they got off the plane.
Along with lettuce and a cardboard box… Pictures:
