According to the authorities, through the recent implementation of a rural security front in the area, the telephone tree and WhatsApp group were activated, made up of farmers, farm caretakers and police, to together block the way to rustlers.
“This constant interaction between the police and the rural community led to the possible theft of 12 livestock from a farm, since the owner of the livestock carried out the last count and realized the shortage. Possible escape routes were immediately secured and checkpoints were installed to prevent vehicles transporting said livestock from entering or leaving,” the report says.
