OSTERBOTTEN, Finland, June 9 (UPI) -- Finnish customs officials seized about 10,000 rare bird eggs that are possibly related to a string of thefts stretching across Scandinavia, officials say.
Officers seized the eggs, as well as 300 dead birds, some of which were stuffed and some frozen, from a man at his residence in central Finland, the Swedish news agency TT reported Saturday.
Most of the eggs seized were from endangered species and many were worth a lot of money to rare egg collectors.
Police said the eggs may be linked to a string of rare bird thefts in Sweden, Norway, Finland and Iceland.
