About 100 of his sheep were released from the kraal, but only about 19 were loaded onto the vehicle.

“All the animals were recovered. We even opened a case, but I can’t say I’m happy, because some of them were injured from the wire they used to tie them. “We have a serious problem of stock theft in the area. We are always alert. It's worse now because of the festive season.”Police Brigadier Motantsi Makhele issued a statement saying that intelligence-driven information led to the arrest of two men for stock theft where sheep to the value of R500,000 were recovered.

Makhele said information was received at 7.45pm on Friday about planned livestock theft at Vredefort. Kroonstad Crime Intelligence members and Parys Visible Policing officials took action. “The police, together with farmers, chased after the two men until they drove to Parys police station, where they ran in different directions and they were arrested.”The suspects had a white Isuzu vehicle with a GP registration number. “These arrests will send a clear-cut message to stock theft thieves that in this festive season, we are turning the tide against crime.
