Four nabbed for stock theft

Shoshong police have arrested four suspects in connection with a stock theft incident that took place in Mojakudu lands on the outskirts of Moralane and Mosolotshane villages. The four men were caught in possession of a slaughtered cow suspected to have been stolen.

The quartet was caught when it was about to load the meat into the car. Shoshong’s assistant police station commander, assistant superintendent George Simataa Mabuta said the suspects are aged between 18 and 21 years. “On arrival at the crime scene, two suspects aged above 30 suspected to been the ring leaders fled the crime scene and are still at large. One of the duo has previous convictions of stock theft and investigations are ongoing to locate and arrest them.

The police pounced on them when they were about to load the meat into the car. The quartet in police custody is likely to be arraigned today before the Mahalapye Magistrate's Court,” he said. Mabuta revealed that through their preliminary investigations, they have found that the suspects have a readily available market in Serowe at one of the local butcheries. Furthermore, Mabuta stated that stock theft remains a concern in his policing area and established that it is because of the demand for meat from some butchery owners.
