Vietnamese fishermen arrested

BANDAR LAMPUNG: Eleven Vietnamese fishermen were arrested in
Lampung on Saturday for poaching on Indonesian waters.

Lampung marine police chief Adj. Comr. Putut Prayodi said the
fishermen were found fishing some nine miles from the coastline
of Tulang Bawang district in Lampung.

None of them were speaking either English or Mandarin, making
it difficult for the authorities to communicate with the sailors.

According to Putut, authorities found around one tons of fish
in their 21-meter boat.

During the arrest, the fishermen tried to bribe the police
with US$450, but the officers refused. -- Antara
