Mozambique police took cash from rhino poacher

MAPUTO — Mozambique’s state news agency has reported that five police officers were arrested for their involvement in poaching. The AIM news agency said Thursday that the officers failed to arrest a man caught with a rhino horn, and instead took half the money made from the illegal sale of the horn. After catching the man, the police accompanied him to a nearby town where he sold the rhino horn for about $24,500. The officers and the poacher were arrested a day later, after a tipoff, said the report.
