Detectives from the South East regional Crime Squad raided two garages in Kensington, West London. Three men were arrested there, and a woman wa staken into custody later in Norwich. Detective Inspector Haslett Schofield, who led yesterday's operation, said that many of the horns were old and were probably trophies from private collections. 'They were from animals shot much earlier this century. If no museum takes them, they will be destroyed in an incinerator.'
