MUTOKO – Police have arrested two suspected cattle rustlers in connection with the theft of two beasts valued at US$2 000 from a village kraal in Mutoko on Monday night.
The suspects have been identified as Anesu Mashingaidze (22) and Thomas Bhirinadho (23).
According to the Zimbabwe Republic Police, the duo allegedly raided the complainant’s kraal under the cover of darkness on October 5 and drove away two beasts.
They were taken into custody following a targeted police operation that led to the full recovery of the stolen livestock.
The recovered oxen have since been secured as evidence, while Mashingaidze and Bhirinadho remain in police custody assisting with ongoing inquiries.
They are expected to appear in court soon to face stock theft charges.
