Police in Dengzhou City, central China's Henan Province, recently seized 59 fossilized dinosaur eggs that smugglers attempted to take out of the country.
On April 22, police received a report of the stolen eggs and later stopped a suspicious vehicle traveling from Neixiang County to Dengzhou.
The truck was stopped by officers, who discovered it was carrying three cases of the 150-million-year-old eggs, according to a police report.
Police arrested the four suspects, who bought the fossils in the county and intended to smuggle them overseas through Hong Kong.
