The leader of a gang of illegal fisherman escaped jail and was forced to pay just £1 in nominal fines after being found guilty of stealing £62,000 worth of salmon and trout.

The judge at Swansea Crown Court said on Friday he was 'surprised' there was no prison sentence for the crime.

Emlyn Rees, 35, was caught after 20 years of illegal poaching, out of which seven years was proved to be criminal.

Bricklayer Rees was traced after an illegal net was rigged up to catch salmon and sea trout.
