The Department of Agriculture and Fisheries has carried out an anti-abalone poaching operation at Robben Island. Officials arrested three suspects and confiscated their boats.
Two others reportedly disappeared into the water and remain at large.
Department spokesperson, Heindrich Wyngaard says officials from the Monitoring, Compliance and Surveillance unit of the Fisheries branch spotted an inflatable boat at 03:00 off Robben Island.
He says police divers were called in to search for perlemoen which may have been poached but then left in the water by the suspects, as well as the two divers who remained in the water.
