Indonesian police in Bali foil an alleged illegal trade involving 21 protected green sea turtles, according to multiple reports. Police carried out a raid on the Pegametan coast of the island on June 10 after local residents reported suspected turtle-trading activity. During the operation, authorities seized the turtles, which are described as protected green sea turtles and were being held alive. Police arrested a 67-year-old man identified by his initials, KS, who is suspected of storing the animals as part of the planned trade. Reports say the case involves an attempt to trade the turtles illegally, and the seizure occurs in the context of ongoing wildlife protection enforcement in the region. The Bali police unit’s law enforcement head, Nanang Pri Hasmojo, is cited as providing details about the raid and the suspect’s arrest. ABC News and The Independent similarly describe the incident as a police effort to prevent the trading of protected sea turtles, focusing on the number of animals seized and the arrest of a single suspect.
