Lobster fishermen are hauling in a record catch after the
first week of the fall fishing season. However, the big harvest is flooding the market and driving
down prices. Lobster has been selling for roughly $3.00
per pound at wharfs from Shelburne to Digby. The Professional Lobster Fishermen's Association is calling
on licence holders to either tie up their boats or hold onto their catch until
prices increase. The group was established last year in an effort to drive up
prices. The PLFA claims they need at least $5.00 to make a profit.
Bridgewater police have laid nine charges following an
alleged robbery on King Street. Twenty-five year old Matthew Manuel Faustino was arrested over
the weekend in relation to separate incidents where a man and woman were roughed
up and had their money stolen. Faustino is charged with two counts of robbery with violence
and breaching court orders. Police say the alleged victims were not badly hurt
and did not require medical attention. He's due in court in Bridgewater on Monday.
