A bleeding rhino horn was discovered inside a cooler bag following a car crash outside Johannesburg, police said Thursday, 1 March 2012.
"Police responded to the scene and during the investigation they discovered the rhino horn in the cooler bag and it was still bleeding," Lieutenant Colonel Tshisikhawe Ndou told the Sapa news agency.
South Africa's Kruger National Park on Wednesday said four staff members, including a field ranger, have been arrested for rhino poaching, which has killed 43 of its animals so far this year.
The four were arrested after two freshly killed rhino, which had been shot and dehorned, were found in a south-western section of the giant park where the officials were stationed and which has lost 11 animals since January.
