Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) seized more than 13,000 pounds of lobster – worth more than $100,000 – from a facility in Shelburne County, N.S., on Wednesday.
Fishery officers executed a search warrant at the facility and seized electronic records and documents along with the lobster, according to a social media post from the DFO.
Officers also arrested a person at the facility for an offence under the Fisheries Act.
“Fishery officers are conducting other enforcement activities to deter and prevent the unauthorized sale of lobster harvested without a commercial licence,” the post reads.
