MAKOKO – Local police are searching for two suspects in connection with stock-theft.

According to the police the suspects were driving in a white Nissan bakkie which was covered with blankets at the back.

The police then tried to stop the suspects but they fled and later hit a tree.

They then fled the scene and upon searching the car the police discovered five slaughtered cows.

“We suspect that there could be butcheries that sell stolen meat and we are busy with investigations,” said Const Naniki Nonyane.

She further urged community members to come forward with any information that may lead to the arrest of the suspects.
