Lebanon News, '
Ancient artifact smugglers arrested in south Lebanon'
Sep. 03, 2016
Internal Security Forces arrested four people Saturday in the southern city of Tyre, who had what is believed to be ancient artifacts in their possession
I think one might be able to understand that government officials may not be as adept as archaeologists, who handle grounded stuff from proper sources daily, in identifying the fake artefacts, but - to judge from the look of the object in the photo - they really ought to be able to tell ivory from plastic. That might save a bit of public money.
