The two men were identified as Cheng Yan Xiu and Lin Mi. Both men were charged with violating customs law and illegally transporting restricted animal parts. 
Bhuntiam said officers became suspicious about Cheng&#39;s bag and stopped him for an inspection. After officers found the rhino horns, he confessed that he had been hired by Lin to transport them for Bt25,000. 
Lin denied the allegation, but officers detained both men.
