The approximate worth of the seized horns and ivory is as yet unknown.

UPDATE:

Acting on a tip from a Tabelview resident, Aquila Game Reserve employee, Searl Derman was able to lead the Hawks and South African Police out to a garage in Tableview area where two Chinese Nationals were arrested for the possession of ivory and various other horns. Neighbours of the arrested men became suspicious after the smell of burning hair and a grinding noise could be traced back to the garage of the suspects.
