Iranian police seizes two Saudi Arabia boats
Two boats from Saudi Arabia have been seized in Iranian waters
by Iranian police, Fars news agency reported.
Head of Iran's Mohshahr marine base, Kerem Reza Piryaei, said that
10 people were arrested after the boats were seized.
He added that most of the people were Saudi Arabia nationals, with
some India nationals among them.
According to a report from Iran's Police website, the people were
fishing illegally in Iranian waters, which resulted in arrests. The
report also said that 220 kg of fish was found on the boats.
In January, Fars reported Iran's coast guard seizing two Saudi
fishing boats after they allegedly strayed into Iranian waters.
From time to time Iran and other Gulf states detain fisherman who
cross into territorial waters.
