A total of 17 illegal fishermen have been escorted out of Australian waters after two separate boats were caught off Western Australia.
The Australian Border Force said maritime officers yesterday intercepted a foreign boat after detecting suspicious activity near Cassini Island.
Seven men had been on board.

Officers searched the boat and found 700kg of salt, a diesel-powered canoe and a variety of fishing and fishing-related equipment.
The equipment and catch were seized.
A business and community member then tipped off the Australian Border Force about possible illegal foreign fishing near Cobourg Peninsula yesterday.
