NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) - Rangers have arrested three Kenyan men and seized 22 elephant tusks weighing 287 pounds that they tried to sell, a spokesman for the Kenya Wildlife Service said Monday.
A source tipped off the Kenya Wildlife Service that the three were looking for buyers in the town of Garsen, 286 miles southeast of the capital, Nairobi. Two Rangers posed as buyers and arrested the men Aug. 30, said Gichuki Kabukuru of the wildlife service.
Two other suspects got away when the rangers tried to arrest them, Kabukuru told The Associated Press.
