Kathmandu - Metropolitan Police Crime Division arrested five Indian nationals with a huge amount of China-bound pangolin scales from Srijana Nagar, Bhaktapur, yesterday. The Metropolitan Police Crime Division rounded them up from a tent on a public land in Bhaktapur. The poachers must have killed more than 45 pangolins to collect the seized amount of scales, investigators said. They were living in the tent for the past 10 days waiting for an opportune time to push the wild animal body parts into China via the Tatopani Customs Point, Sindhupalchowk. According to preliminary investigation, they had sneaked into Nepal through the Birgunj transit. thehimalayantimes/fullNews.php?headline=Police+seize+pangolin+scales&NewsID=379739
