Fisheries officers have stopped a group of people who travelled to the Teesside coast to pick illegal shellfish destined for a Newcastle restaurant.

The group of four had made the journey to Redcar from Sheffield on Tuesday.

Officers from the North Eastern Inshore Fisheries and Conservation Authority seized their haul and notified police reporting a breach of national lockdown rules.

The group had made the two hour journey to the Teesside coast and were collecting undersized shellfish off the beach at Redcar planning to drop it off at a restaurant in Newcastle.

The undersized shellfish were returned to the water.
