Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>The community policing forum (CPF) in Elsies River has welcomed the speedy arrest of three suspects found in possession of crayfish with a street value of R9 million.<\/p>\n

The suspects were arrested at a warehouse in Racing Park in Milnerton on Wednesday as part of police’s efforts to stamp out the illegal trade of crayfish.<\/p>\n

Western Cape police spokesperson Captain Nowonga Sukwana said police followed up on information about a truck that was hijacked in the early hours of Wednesday morning, which paved the way for an integrated operation.<\/p>\n

Members of the Maitland Flying Squad, Crime Intelligence, Stock Theft, and Endangered Species Unit then raided the property.<\/p>\n

“Members searched the premises and found crayfish with an estimated street value of R9 million stored in 180 cooler boxes,” Sukwana said.<\/p>\n

CPF spokesperson Mark Lindsell believed the bust was one of the biggest in the area.<\/p>\n

“Illegal crayfish trade is a huge issue, and police did a fantastic job nabbing those involved. This is probably one of the biggest illegal crayfish busts the area has seen,” Lindsell added.<\/p>\n

According to police, the suspects appeared in the Cape Town Magistrate’s Court on Friday. Their case was postponed to next week.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, on Thursday Maitland Flying Squad arrested a 21-year-old man in Belhar for being in possession of 3 864 crayfish without a permit.<\/p>\n
