A group has been caught with allegedly more than three times the legal limit of popular shellfish tuatua in Tauranga.
A Ministry for Primary Industries honorary fishery officer patrol were inspecting the catch of a group of four people at Pāpāmoa s Taylors Reserve on Wednesday when they made the discovery.
Initially, the group showed the officers a bucket with the daily allowable limit of 600 tuatua, or 150 each. However, following a search, officers uncovered a chilly bin in their vehicle allegedly containing a further 1287 tuatua.
