Poaching Suspect caught with illegal Fish & Fishing Gear!
DNPW Ranger with suspected poacher!
Nsefu Wildlife VP Andre and the DNPW Rangers were recently traveling through the Luangwa region near the park, when they happened upon two suspected poachers, who were found with fishing nets, baskets, and fish in an area where it is illegal to fish.
As our team began to talk to the suspects, the suspects began to quickly walk away, so our team got into our truck and caught up to suspects, after which they took off running. Our team then engaged in a foot chase with the suspects into the bush and caught up with one of the suspects and detained him.
They took the suspect back for interrogation and then later that day took him to DNPW HQ for further interrogation and to be jailed. The suspect is currently in jail awaiting trial.
Note: Nsefu Wildlife rangers were not involved in this operation.
