Thai customs sizes 21 rhino horns worth $5 million
None
BANGKOK -- Thai authorities say they have seized 21 rhinoceros horns smuggled from Ethiopia worth almost $5 million.
The bags carrying the horns were discovered Friday in a random customs search at Bangkok's main airport. The bags' owners fled as officers searched their bags and have not been apprehended.
Customs officials said Tuesday the horns are unusually large and pristine. It's the second time in two years that rhino horns have been seized at the airport.
