“I had no doubt they were stolen because the fence was cut. It looked like they were walked through the farm.”
“We heard that there was a strange vehicle loading the animals. Then we made a roadblock with the community patrol guys.”
When they tried to flag down the suspected stock thieves, the suspects drove into one of the roadblock members. “He was on the side of the road signalling with a torch for the car to stop, but they didn’t. They kept on approaching and ended up injuring him. “When we caught them, they tried to flee, but only to end up in a police station. I don’t think they intended to drive into the station ,” Greeff said.“All the animals were recovered. We even opened a case, but I can’t say I’m happy because some of them were injured from the wire they used to tie them.
“We have a serious problem of stock theft in the area. We are always alert. It's worse now because of the festive season.”Police have been contacted for comment.
