Our endeavours to address stock theft in the Malmesbury area resulted in the arrest of five suspects yesterday, 20 September 2018, for being in possession of 16 live sheep with an estimated value of R 40 000-00.

Members of the Malmesbury Stock Theft and Endangered Species Unit in conjunction with other role players in the community were conducting patrols in the area when they came across the suspects aged between 25 and 42.

Two vehicles used to transport the stolen livestock were also confiscated. The suspects are due to make a court appearance in Malmesbury on Tuesday 25 September 2018, to face the charges against them.
