An Indian who attempted to smuggle a rare species of Sri Lankan Armadillo Scales weighing more than 2 kilos to India was nabbed at the Bandaranaike International Airport (BIA) by the customs Biodiversity protection unit last night.

The investigation revealed the suspect had traveled between India and Sri Lanka on hundred times during the past two years.

According to the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES), it is prohibited to trade these endangered animals. (Deepa Adikari)
