Savannakhet authorities seize rosewood shipmentMay 4th, 2012
Vientiane Times, April 30, 2012 Savannakhet police recently seized 80 pieces of rosewood, after receiving a tip off from a local man to check a suspicious truck seen in the area. Customs officials told the Pathet Lao newspaper on Friday the truck was travelling from Kaysone Phomvihane district to Outhomphone district when they stopped it to conduct a search. Whilst inspecting the contents of the load, police discovered a quantity of rosewood on the back of the truck, which may have been illegally logged. The driver of the truck, a Vietnamese man named Mr Tong, told police he had no idea that there was rosewood on board and said he was merely a driver. He said he collected the load of wood at No 10 factory in Nakham village and was to take it to another destination. Police confiscated the truck and the wood, which will be held at the customs depot until the owner of the wood can produce the necessary documentation to certify that it is legal.
