    Fines totalling $4,000 have been handed down to three people who illegally took shellfish from a closed beach in Auckland

    Fines totalling $4,000 have been handed down to three people who illegally took shellfish from a closed beach in Auckland


    There are 18 signs at Eastern Beach warning that it is closed to shellfish gathering, to rebuild the population.

    But in March last year, fishery officers caught Jonathan Farrow-Russell, Milika Tulikihakau and Connie Carter Pooi, with about 1000 cockles between them.

    The trio claimed not to have seen the signs and did not know the beach was closed.

    MPI ended up taking a prosecution against them and they were sentenced in the Manukau District Court last week.
