On Tuesday, we showed you the first 9 of those 29 fishermen that the Fisheries Department, the Belize Audubon Society and the Police busted with a stash of undersized conch in the Lighthouse Reef area last week. Well tonight, we show you two more.
They are brothers Julio and Oscar Cardona, and they've both pleaded guilty to being in possession of undersized conch. Julio Cardona was caught with 214 conch, and he was given a total fine of $4,430 dollars. He must pay the court by September 30, or else he will spend 7 months in jail.
Oscar Cardona was fined a total of $1,570, and he must pay by September 30, or he will spend 7 years in jail.
They were caught with the conchs on a boat southwest of Northern 2 Caye.
