Reports of 'fish piracy' on Solomons fishing boats

The general manager at Solomon Islands National Fisheries Developments Ltd, Frank Wickham, said there had been multiple incidents of people boarding his company's boats at sea and stealing its fish.

Mr Wickham told the Solomon Star some of his crew were being threatened.

He said the "pirates" - who boarded in provincial waters - were also sabotaging expensive fishing equipment.
