Bulawayo Police Nab Two Stock Theft Suspects with 19 Herd of Cattle
Two men from Mganwini suburb have been nabbed in the Esigodini area on stock theft allegations of 19 herds of cattle.
Bulawayo Provincial Police spokesperson, Inspector Abednico Ncube confirmed the arrest and revealed the duo as Edmore Bhipi (46) and Farai Pambukani (28).
Stock Theft
“Police in Bulawayo have arrested Edmore Bhipi aged 46 and Farai Pambukani aged 28 all from Emganwini suburb for a case of stock theft. The two were intercepted around the Esigodini Luwelini area, driving a motor vehicle loaded with 19 head of cattle,” said Insp Ncube.
Insp Ncube added, “This was after they were spotted in the Inzisa area by an informant who tried to stop them but they fled driving towards Bulawayo. The informant then followed them while phoning police officers until he got in touch with the police, Bulawayo Central.”
Eventually the duo were arrested and upon searching the vehicle, it was found that Bhipi and Pambukani were transporting 19 head of cattle, consisting of 13 cows and six oxens. It was immediately discovered that the suspects did not possess any documents indicating legal procurement or transportation of the animals.
The Investigation Continues
The spokesperson revealed that they are currently assisting police with the investigations.
In light of this incident, the police spokesperson commended the informant for informing the police.
He stated, “We would like to appreciate the informant who is part of members of our public and stakeholders for having such concern and assisting in law enforcement which led to the arrest and recovery of 19 head of cattle even though two of them have since died.”
