A 38-year-old man has been arrested in the Katutura policing area of the Khomas Region after he was allegedly found in possession of pangolin skin. According to the police weekend crime report, the suspect was apprehended on the B1 main road on Friday morning. Possession of a pangolin or its parts, including scales and skin, is illegal in Namibia, as they are protected species, similar to rhinos and elephants. Multiple arrests have been made in recent years, with suspects found in possession of live pangolins or scales in the northern and central regions of the country.
