Customs officials in Thailand have seized 3 tonnes of Ivory that is said to have originated from Kenya.
The 511 elephant tusks worth 6 million dollars, according to a report on the Daily Mail had been hidden in tea leaf sacks, which is the second-largest bust in Thailand's history.
According to Customs Department Director-General Somchai Sujjapongse the bust came after customs officials received a tip-off in Laos and Thailand and tracked the containers from Kenya.
The ivory, hidden among tea leaves, was shipped out of Kenya on March 24 and went through ports in Sri Lanka, Malaysia and Singapore before coming to Thailand.
The bust comes a week after Thailand officials seized 4 tonnes of tusks smuggled from Congo.
