The North West Police said stock theft has become a problematic crime in the country. 

The two suspects aged 44 and 58-years-old were arrested this week after they were found stealing a cow and two sheep.

North West Lieutenant Colonel Lesego Metsi said both suspects are expected to appear in the Potchefstroom Magistrate Court on Monday. 

Metsi added that when they caught the suspects they had already slaughtered the cattle.

Furthermore he explains that they also recovered meat from a freezer along with skin and the head of the cow.

“During further investigation police also managed to get two hidden cows inside a tavern,” added Metsi.
