A member of a notorious poaching gang from Zambia that plies their trade across the borders of three countries was arrested after getting involved in a shootout with a Namibian anti-poaching unit on the banks of Linyanti River. The shootout occurred on the Namibian side of the river last Thursday night and according to reports, one of the gang members was arrested. The suspected poacher is currently being held at the Katima Mulilo Police Station. A Ministry of Environment, Forestry, and Tourism official shortly after the shooting incident last week, said that the notorious poaching gang has been able to evade arrest for years by using tactics associated with people that received military training. The official said four of the poachers managed to evade arrest again by disappearing into the bushes in the darkness during the firefight.
