South Rupununi ranchers are calling on law enforcers to ensure that justice is done as they await charges against cattle rustlers who were recently caught red-handed.
According to a member of the Karaudarnau Village Council, who did not want to be named, the most recent incident occurred two Wednesdays ago.
He said the council received a report from a resident rancher who informed that she found the wiring of her fence clipped and seven of the cows that were in the paddock missing. The councillor said that the rancher narrated that she and her husband decided to follow the cows’ hoof prints and they soon caught up with the small herd, which was being driven by someone from the nearby community of Achiwib. The councillor said when the rustler saw the owners, he abandoned the cows, which were taken back to the ranch.
