A Vietnamese suspect was on Thursday caught red-handed storing a dead tiger and tiger skin inside a freezer.
Police in the north-central province of Nghe An on Thursday arrested 26-year-old Le Van Duc, who lives in Dien Lam Commune, Dien Chau District.
Duc was caught stuffing a dead tiger into his freezer at around 7:00 pm.
Police later found a headless tiger skin stored underneath the frozen dead tiger.
The dead tiger weighed 37 kilograms and the tiger skin weighed 21 kilograms, according to police measurements.

Duc is being questioned on the origin of the tiger and where he planned to sell the endangered animal.
The poaching, transportation, and trading of endangered wild animals are outlawed in Vietnam, and transgressors are eligible for up to seven years behind bars, according to the country’s Penal Code.
In Vietnam, tigers are poached and traded for their skin, which can be processed into household decorations, while their bones can be slow-cooked into a thick paste that is rumored to cure a wide range of illnesses.
