German officials seized cooked bats and nearly a ton of unrefrigerated fish after police stopped a van that had entered the country from Belgium, authorities said Wednesday.

當局週三表示，在警方攔截了一輛從比利時進入該國的送貨車後，德國官員查獲了煮熟的蝙蝠，和近1噸未冷藏的魚。

Federal police said a patrol on Monday stopped the vehicle at a highway exit on the edge of the border city of Aachen, and found the bats under the fish. A vet from the local consumer protection office was sent to the scene and ordered the bats and fish confiscated. Police seized the van, which was uninsured.

聯邦警方表示，巡邏隊週一在邊境城市亞琛邊緣的高速公路出口處，攔下這輛車，並在魚下面發現蝙蝠。當地消費者保護辦公室的一名獸醫被派往現場，下令沒收蝙蝠和魚。警方扣押了這輛沒有保險的送貨車。

The 31-year-old driver, an Ivorian citizen, faced a criminal complaint for traffic offenses and unauthorized entry because he entered the country without papers or a driver’s license, police said in a statement. He also faces administrative proceedings for violations of food hygiene rules, and local authorities were looking into whether he violated conservation laws relating to the bats.

警方在一份聲明中說，這名31歲的司機是象牙海岸公民，因交通違法和未經授權的入境而面臨刑事訴訟，因為他在沒有證件或駕駛執照的情況下進入該國。他還因為違反食品衛生規則而面臨行政訴訟，地方當局正在調查他是否違反與蝙蝠有關的保護法。
