CHARGES EXPECTED OVER ILLEGAL CRABBING

A commercial fisherman is expected to be charged, after he was allegedly caught illegally crab trapping in the Belmore River near Gladstone.

It follows a covert surveillance operation by Fisheries officers three weeks ago.

The mud crabs were released back into the water, along with a Long Necked Turtle that was entangled in one of the traps.

Investigations are continuing.
