During a routine control the Silesian customs officials found 39 scorpions in a parcel from Hongkong. Seven arachnids did not endure the difficulties of the transport. It was a student from Wrocław to whom the parcel was to be delivered.
Three-centemeter-long scorpions were found in a small parcel labelled as a package with toys, worth 12 Euro. The police holding an investigation questioned the addressee - a 24 year old student-hobbyist from Wrocław. He said that the scorpions were for his personal use only.
