2 traffickers arrested with 19 kg of elephant ivory. The couple, a man and a woman, were arrested attempting to sell 4 tusks. They collaborated in trading elephant tusks. The woman transferred a significantly huge amount of money to the man to enable him buy the tusks. The tusks were brought from the Plateaux Department to Brazzaville, where the traffickers were arrested. They were expertly cautious in their proceedings, shortly before their arrest. The woman arrived first to ensure everything was in good order and the man arrived later in a car with the tusks that were concealed inside a bag. The car waited on them.
