GWERU – Police recently arrested an elderly man in connection with stock theft after five cattle that had been stolen from Madigane village under Chief Sogwala on May 16 were recovered at a local abattoir.
Circumstances are that on the May 16, the suspect, Samson Mpofu (72) of Guduza village under Chief Sogwala, went to Maboleni Police Station seeking assistance to clear five herd of cattle.
The suspect was in possession of a valid animal movement permit from the veterinary department.
