Public drinking stop leads to massive crayfish bust in Cape Town

# The City of Cape Town says a routine patrol in Hout Bay and Wynberg led to a major bust after officers arrested a suspect found with nearly one-thousand-850 West Coast rock lobster tails and cash, following an initial stop for public drinking. Mayoral committee member for Safety and Security, JP Smith, says the arrest forms part of more than 400 enforcement actions carried out in the past week, including firearm recoveries in Delft and Diep River.
