The vigilance of two Cape Town Central police station officers was rewarded with the arrest of two suspects caught in possession of West Coast rock lobster tails without the necessary permit, Western Cape police said on Sunday.

During the early hours of Saturday morning, the officers were conducting patrols in Dorp Street in the Bo-Kaap when they spotted the “suspects acting suspiciously”, Lt-Col Andrè Traut said.

“This prompted the members to investigate their behaviour which led to the discovery of 4036 crayfish tails. The suspects aged 36 and 38 are expected to make a court appearance in Cape Town on Tuesday,” he said.
