Finnish police have recovered an anchor in the Baltic Sea as part of a probe into suspected sabotage of power and internet cables, involving the Eagle S tanker.
COPENHAGEN (Reuters) - Finnish police said on Tuesday they have recovered a lost anchor from the bottom of the ocean as part of an investigation of suspected sabotage against power and internet cables in the Baltic Sea.
Finland last month seized the Eagle S tanker carrying Russian oil on suspicion that the vessel had damaged the Finnish-Estonian Estlink 2 power line and four telecoms cables by dragging its anchor across the seabed.
"The location where the anchor was found is along the route of the Eagle S... towards the western end of the drag trace found on the seabed," Finland's National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) said in a statement.
Photos of the Eagle S taken since the incident show the vessel is missing its port side anchor.
