Police in Slovakia and Hungary arrested three people and seized 2.2 pounds of a radioactive material that the suspects were trying to sell for $1 million, Slovak authorities said.

Slovak police spokesman Martin Korch said specialists were examining what he described only as “dangerous radioactive material.” The Czech news agency CTK, citing unconfirmed reports, said the material was enriched uranium.

Two of the suspects were arrested in eastern Slovakia, and the third was arrested in Hungary, Korch said.
