BANGKOK, Thailand - Customs officials in southern Thailand made a rare seizure Friday of more than 2,500 dried sea horses, an ingredient of Chinese traditional medicines.

The officials, who had followed a passenger van from the Malaysian border, stopped the vehicle and found the dried sea horses wrapped in newspapers, said Tanat Suvattanametakul, director of the Customs Division's Investigation Bureau.

There were no arrests since the bundles had been loaded as cargo and no passenger was accompanying them, he said. The seizure was made near the southern city of Songkhla, and the confiscated sea horses were displayed at a news conference in Bangkok.
