CAPE SABLE ISLAND, N.S. – Mounties say they’re investigating a bizarre live lobster theft. Police say the theft occurred overnight Tuesday, Jan. 12 and it was no small catch that went missing.
Investigators with Barrington RCMP say 48 crates of live lobster were stolen from an outdoor pound at a business on Cape Sable Island — with each crate containing 45 kilograms, (100 lbs.) of lobster.
The incident follows a similar theft last month, when 14 crates of lobster were stolen from a secure compound on Morris Island near Yarmouth.
Anyone who may have witnessed the theft, or who has information is asked to call Barrington RCMP at (902) 637-2325 or Nova Scotia Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.
