Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>A police officer in the North West has been arrested for allegedly stealing cattle from a farm in Ganyesa.<\/p>\n

According to a police statement, the 28-year-old police officer attached to visible policing and his 24-year-old accomplice were reportedly found in possession of stolen cattle.<\/p>\n

“Reports suggest that the farm employee called and informed his employer about people who loaded the cattle from the farm,” police spokesperson Brigadier Sabata Mokgwabone said.<\/p>\n

“A search was launched by the Vryburg stock theft and endangered species unit in conjunction with the local farmers. As a result, a white Toyota Fortuner with a trailer loaded with five cattle, was spotted and stopped not far from the farm on the Tlakgameng village gravel road.\u201d<\/p>\n

“Following a preliminary investigation, the cattle were handed back to the lawful owner after being positively identified through brand marks and tags while the vehicle and the trailer were seized.”<\/p>\n

The two men were arrested on Thursday.<\/p>\n

They are expected to appear in the Ganyesa Magistrate’s Court on Monday, facing a charge of stock theft.<\/p>\n
