Vandals revisit St Catherine and kill 200 farmed turbot

The turbot drowned after the offenders struck on Sunday night at Jersey Turbot, which is housed in an old German bunker.Joint owner of the company Dave Cowburn was today still removing the carcasses from the pools.

He estimated that the vandalism had cost him £2,000.

But despite reporting the loss on Monday, Mr Cowburn is still waiting for a member of the States police to start the investigation.’I am really upset,’ he said.

‘It is just so mindless and it is just two weeks since the St Catherine’s Life Boat was targeted and now it’s me.’He explained that the dead fish were all about nine months old and that they are not ready for market until they were two-and-a-half years old.Mr Cowburn said that more needed to be done to combat vandals at St Catherine, which he said was not the quiet place people might imagine.’They are always in the back car park, racing their minis about,’ he added.
