Thai authorities arrested a teenager at a Bangkok airport for allegedly smuggling 30 protected tortoises valued at about US$9,000 that were taped under her clothing, wildlife officials say.
Authorities became suspicious of the 19-year-old woman's unusual movements as she prepared to board a flight. A search uncovered the Indian star tortoises -- 29 alive and one dead -- strapped to her body.
"The suspect had used adhesive tape to immobilise the animals, packed them into cloth bags and attached them to her body to evade detection."
The Thai customs department said the tortoises -- protected under the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) -- commanded a high price on the black market, placing their total estimated value at around US$9,000.
The surviving tortoises were transferred to wildlife conservation officials for care and to serve as evidence.
