Wes Note: My Norwegian is as good as my Afrikaans – nil! But I note that there ‘seems’ to be a link with narcotics smuggling. Now I have lots of press related to drugs and snakes – the latter often being used as ‘security’ for the former – however, this is the first time I’ve seen newts implicated in a drug event.


SMAALENENE (Askim, Norway) 07 February 08 Skilpadde og salamander over grensen - Tirsdag var tollere fra Ørje tollkontor på rutinemessig oppdrag ved Sukkerveien i Setskog. Det ble en eksotisk tur.
Setskog er en ubemannet grenseovergang som tollerne på Ørje iblant kontrollerer.
Ved sjutiden på kvelden ble en bil hjemmehørende på Romerike stanset for kontroll. En mann og en kvinne i 20 årene satt i bilen. De fortalte at de hadde vært på handletur i Sverige. Under kontroll av kvinnens bukselommer ble det funnet en klump med hasj. Hun innrømmet at hun selv var misbruker. Den øvrige kontrollen avdekket en skilpadde og to salamandre. De var pakket i plasteske og plastpose. Slike dyr er forbudt innført og de ble derfor beslaglagt og brakt tilbake til Ørje Tollkontor, forteller seksjonssleder ved Ørje Tollkontor Gro Lene Gundelsby.
Dyrene blir overlevert Mattilsynet, som overtar det videre ansvaret.
Personene ble overlevert Romerike Politikammer. De blir anmeldt for ulovlig innførsel av levende dyr samt narkotika.

The article just says that to people where caught trying to smuggle slamanders and a tortoise into the country. as they are illegal to bring into to country, or sell here, or own without spesial permission they were confiscated

Default Re: NOR Press: Nagell's translation service!

Nagell;
Thank you very much for the correction - and for taking the time to type out a synopsis of what the article actually said. Having a Norwegian-English bilingual speaker available to the forum is certainly better than having the group having to rely on my translating each Norwegian word individually with a dictionary!
I extend apologies to the Newts of Norway for insinuating that their activities were anything else but totally ethical :).
respects;
Wes
