Perlemoen poacher drowns near Hermanus

01 Feb 2016 | Admin Author


 Western Cape fisheries says a perlemoen poacher drowned yesterday when officers tried to arrest him off the coast of Hermanus.

Officers patrolling on jet-skis found three men diving for perlemoen near Breakfast Bay.

One of the poachers swam for the shore while the other two made for deeper waters where one of them drowned.

In two other abalone busts in the Western Cape, two people were arrested and about 8 600 perlemoen confiscated.
