A 30-year-old man was arrested for being in possession of suspected stolen stock on Tuesday, 28 August at the Ndonga Section in Mayflower.
According to Mayflower Police, the Stock Theft Unit said that during an operation, the suspect was found with three freshly-produced hides of cows and 10 live cows that did not belong to him in a kraal at his residence.
“The cows were waiting to be slaughtered and were identified by their rightful owners,” spokesman for Mayflower Police, Const Tryphina Utla, said.
The accused appeared in the Mayflower Periodical Court on Wednesday, 29 August where the community of Mayflower picketed outside and demanded no bail for the suspect.
His bail application was denied and the case was postponed to Wednesday, 5 September.
