Shot fired into lobster buyer’s home as southwest N.S. season opens
Commercial fishermen set to start the lucrative lobster fishery in southwest Nova Scotia on Tuesday morning are boycotting buyers alleged to be profiteering off the unlicensed summer fishery in St. Mary’s Bay. On Saturday night, one of the buyers those fishermen in lobster fishing areas 33 and 34 have turned to have a shot fired through his home. On Sunday morning, Geoffrey Jobert, owner of Lobster Hub Inc. in Meteghan, went downstairs in his Clare County home and found a series of holes passing through his garage door, kitchen, dining room and living room. He found a round lodged in his hardwood rocking chair. “It was stormy the night before and we didn’t hear the shot,” said Jobert. On the road outside, he said, he found a spent shell casing. While there was no message left, Jobert said he knows why he’s being threatened. more, >>CLICK TO READ<< 07:18
