Gauteng police have found abalone with a street value of R5m at a house in Glenvist, Johannesburg on Wednesday.

Police spokesperson Tshisikhawe Ndou said, “The arrests came after police received information about the storage and processing of abalone at the house.”

When police arrived at the house the men were busy processing and packaging abalone.

Four Chinese and a South African will be charged in terms of the Marine Coastal Management Act.
