Seven “highly wanted” poachers were caught, along with a motherlode of weapons, as they emerged from the jungle in Kelantan.

The weapons found associated with the poachers included several powerful shotguns (enough to kill elephants) and nine chainsaws (probably used to saw off elephant tusks). Also found were tiger teeth, dried elephant meat, several parangs (machetes) and even...plastic explosives.
