The Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) announced in their news release on Wednesday that the officers confiscated nearly 3 ½ kilograms of elvers during the arrest in the Meteghan area of Digby County, along with a vehicle and four nets. However, they did not disclose whether the individuals would face charges. The department also revealed that they seized 13 kilograms of elvers from the exact location, but this was unrelated to the arrest, and the eels were returned to the river.
