They inspected three timber containers transported from Africa and discovered more than 270 kilos of ivory that were concealed in wood blocks from two containers.

The customs officers said these containers had departed from a port of an African nation, transited through a port in Malaysia and arrived at Cat Lai port before docking at Phnom Penh port, Cambodia.
