Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>Three suspects were arrested during a \u201csignificant\u201d abalone bust in Rondebosch earlier today (Thursday 1 December).<\/p>\n

The arrest followed a tip-off to the City of Cape Town\u2019s dedicated informant rewards line.<\/p>\n

According to JP Smith, the City\u2019s Mayco member for safety and security, the information was relayed to Law Enforcement’s Marine and Environmental Unit who alerted police and the Department of Forestry, Fisheries and Environment.<\/p>\n

\u201cUpon arrival, officers found a large quantity of abalone and equipment used to dry the marine resources. The abalone is still being counted and weighed \u2013 confirmed totals will be released once available,\u201d says Smith.<\/p>\n

Investigators were still on the scene by 15:00 today.<\/p>\n

Smith says at least three suspects were detained in connection with the find.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe continuous stripping of our marine resources is of serious concern, and it is my sincere hope that those involved in this case are swiftly prosecuted, to the full extent of the law so that it may serve as a warning to others,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n
