Three suspects aged between 25 and 45 were arrested by the police in Danielskuil for stock theft. This comes after goats were reported stolen on 16 January 2024. The ZF Mgcawu District police spokesperson, Sgt Omphile Masegela, said the police conducted preliminary investigations, which led to the apprehension of the suspects and the discovery of a slaughtered Savanna goat to the value of R30 000.
“Further investigations revealed that, two more alive goats to the value of R4000, were kept at another location. The goats were recovered and handed over to the rightful owner. The police urge all farmers to brand their stock to ensure it is easily identifiable,” he said.
