Cattle rustling is the most prevalent crime in Region Five (Mahaica-Berbice) and the police in the division lack the needed resources to proactively respond.
“We have many cattle farmers there, that is why we are having this problem in our region,” the Police Commander of Region Five, Senior Superinten-dent Kurleigh Simon, disclosed on Tuesday during his appearance on the Guyana Police Force’s weekly Police and You programme.
According to Simon, the police receive at least two to three reports of cattle rustling every week.
