Six arrested for possession of suspected stolen goats
Updated | By ANA
The fight against stock theft progressed when Wolmaransstad police apprehended six men for possession of suspected stolen goats last week, North West police said on Sunday.
The arrests came after police were dispatched to attend a complaint about a suspicious vehicle seen parked along the R501 (Wolmaransstad-Leeudoringstad) road on Friday morning, spokesman Colonel Sabata Mokgwabone said.
“According to the information available at this stage, they found the car and questioned all six occupants of a Volkswagen Jetta,” he said.
They allegedly informed the police that they had run out of petrol. Their vehicle was searched, and two goats were found inside the boot.
The suspects, aged between 21 and 49, were arrested for possession of suspected stolen livestock and were due to appear in the Wolmaransstad Magistrate’s Court on Monday.
