1:15 Eel mystery on the West Coast
There's been heart break at a West Coast motel near Greymouth after several hundred eels went missing from a nearby creek.
The eels were being taken care of by Joe Verberne and Stephanie Tims who co-own the Apostles View Motels near Coal Creek.
Joe had been regularly feeding the local wild life and showing them off to visitors at their accommodation.
Recently all of the eels disappeared overnight.
