7 stolen cattle recovered, KZN police officer among suspects

Two men, including a police constable, were arrested after seven cattle were stolen from a farm near Dundee.

A police constable was one of two men arrested yesterday in connection with the theft of seven head of cattle.

According to Dundee Courier, community members spotted suspicious activity at a home on Sunshine Farm in the Fankomo area on the Dundee/Nquthu road. Farm watch was alerted and, with the help of community members, apprehended one man.

A bakkie loaded with seven cattle was then chased down. The vehicle was pulled over and a second man was arrested.

“Four others are still at large,” says KZN SAPS spokesperson Colonel Robert Netshiunda.

The driver of the bakkie who was arrested was identified as a 32-year-old police constable from Hluhluwe.

The arrested men are expected to appear in court soon.
