BRATISLAVA, Slovakia — Police in Slovakia and Hungary arrested three people and seized 2.2 pounds of an unspecified “dangerous” radioactive material the suspects were trying to sell for $1 million, authorities said Wednesday.

The Czech news agency CTK, citing unconfirmed reports, said the material seized by authorities was enriched uranium. Slovak police spokesman Martin Korch declined to comment on the report, saying specialists were examining what he described only as “dangerous radioactive material.”

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