Yesterday the Hawks arrested a Thai National in Johannesburg at the Thai Emperors Palace in connection with illegal rhino horn trading.


Spokesperson of the Revenue Service Adrian Lackay says the arrest comes after a thorough investigation into the unlawful trade in rhino horn internationally.


The suspect had 21-thousand-Rands in cash on him.


He is believed to be the fourth suspect in a big syndicate, including another two Thai nationals and Free State game farm owner Marnus Steyl.
