EWN reports that nine Fisheries Department officials will join seven other suspects in the dock at a Hermanus court on Tuesday. Seventeen suspects were rounded up by the Hawks in an abalone bust on Monday.
They are thought to be part of a syndicate involved in the illegal poaching and trade of abalone. The crime fighting unit's Philani Nkwalase indicated: “The operation is ongoing, and the possibility of more arrests cannot be ruled out.”
