With beef expected to be a main supplement on the Christmas menu for many, police on the East Coast of Demerara thwarted the plans of some cow thieves when they intercepted a Canter truck with five stolen cows on Saturday.
The truck was intercepted by a mobile patrol unit in the vicinity of Vigilance, while the thieves were in the process of transporting their loot to the city.
The cows were reported stolen on Friday by residents of Cane Grove, Mahaica, and at the time of the interception of the truck only the driver was present.
He is expected to be placed before the court today.
Reports reaching this newspaper stated that the owners of the branded animals had left them to graze in the Diamond Backdam aback of Cane Grove, East Coast Demerara and upon checking their stock on Friday, they discovered five head of cattle were missing.
A report was made to the Cane Grove Police Station and an all-station message was immediately sent out.
Since the rustlers suspected that the police would have been on the lookout for them, they decided to stash and wait for a day before moving the cattle.
However, the police maintained their vigilance and managed to intercept the truck when the thieves finally decided to make their move.
What gave them away was the fact that they decided to transport the animals after the stipulated time for trucks to be on the roadways, thus arousing the suspicions of the police.
During questioning, the driver of the truck claimed that he had bought the animals from someone in the Mahaica Creek.
But after checking, the police escorted the cows back to Cane Grove where the real owners were able to identify them by their brands.
