A French tourist was caught red-handed Monday night, fishing illegally by Glanni waterfall in Norðurá river. Fishing guard Magnús Fjelsted told local news site Skessuhorn that he had been made aware of the crime at around 10 p.m.

Magnús called the police. He says that as soon as the tourist was made aware that the police would be coming, he suddenly lost the ability to speak English.

Police interrogated the poacher with the help of Google Translate, Magnús says. He says that the landowners will probably file charges against the tourist and that he can axpect a hefty fine before leaving the country.
