Turtle eggs seized in Malaysia

Police in Sabah have seized 10,000 turtle eggs from a speedboat that was unloading on a beach near Sandakan. They believe that a smuggling syndicate got the eggs from several Philippine islands and were smuggling them into Malaysia where they are regarded as a delicacy. The eggs are apparently from species like Green and Hawksbill turtles.
Unfortunately the smugglers escaped.
Wildlife officials are going to try and incubate the eggs.
