A Pole and two Germans arrested at the airport in Peru. Thousands of spiders found in their luggage.

Three foreigners, including two Germans and a Pole, were detained at Lima airport while attempting to smuggle spiders hidden in socks. The spiders, found in their luggage, were at various developmental stages and included endangered species. Authorities believe the spiders were intended for collection, research, or as pets. The suspects were apprehended following an anonymous tip, and face significant prison sentences for illegal wildlife trafficking. The spiders will be transferred to an authorized breeding facility after examination.
