Cape Breton-Canso MP Mike Kelloway, who is also Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Fisheries is applauding the work of Fisheries Enforcement officers in the seizure of more than $100,000 worth of lobster in southwestern Nova Scotia.
The department says the seizure was made last week at a Shelburne County facility; one person was arrested.
More than 59-hundred kilograms of lobster, documents and electronic records were seized in the search.
An investigation is underway for potential charges under the Fisheries Act in connection with maintaining a lobster pound without the required license.
