The police flying squad in the Albertine region has recovered 24 suspected stolen cows and arrested two suspects. The cows were recovered from Kunyamurara village in Bikonzi Sub County.
The suspects have been identified as Lawrence Farouk Busobozi and Alex Mukonyezi and are currently being detained at the Masindi central police station.
Some of the recovered animals belong to cattle keepers in the districts of Nakasongola, Nakaseke, Kyankwanzi, Luwero and Kiryandongo.
The suspects would liaise with their colleagues in Luwero, Kiryandongo and Nakasongola to steal the animals before they are transported and kept in a kraal in Masindi.
Julius Hakiza, the Albertine region police spokesperson, says that the majority of the recovered cows were found kept in a kraal belonging to Mukonyezi in Kinyamurara village of Kimengo sub-county.
