Yesterday police received information about possible poaching at Robben Island. A joint operation was conducted by the SAPS Cape Town Sea Border Unit, the Special Task Force and DAFF. A vessel was spotted entering Hout Bay Harbour this morning about 04:00, without any navigational lights. The poaching vessel spotted the law enforcement vessels and sped off into Hout Bay harbour. The crew and divers on board the vessel evaded arrest by jumping off onto the quayside and disappeared among the factories.
