VLADIVOSTOK, March 17 (Itar-Tass) - Two vessels flying the Cambodian flag were detained at the Russian Far Eastern Primorye territory’s coast during the past weekend.On Monday they arrived under the escort of border guards at Nakhodka port where the investigation will be conducted.
The press service of the territorial border guard department told Itar-Tass that the first vessel – the Mar trawler, was spotted by border guards when it was illegally crossing the Russian state border. Its crew made an attempt to get rid of poaching fishing gear and threw into the water crab traps. However, the poachers failed to fully dispose of the crime evidence – during the trawler’s inspection the border guards found illegally caught live crabs on the ship. The sum of prevented damage is estimated at over 0.5 million roubles.
The second vessel – the East schooner, was stopped and examined by a patrol coast guard vessel in the exclusive economic zone of Russia. Over one tonne of illegally caught crab was found on the ship.
