Mem­bers of the Prae­di­al Lar­ce­ny Squad (PLS) be­lieve they may have made a ma­jor break­through in a cat­tle steal­ing ring in Cen­tral fol­low­ing the ar­rest of two (2) men in Cunu­pia on Thurs­day, May 25, 2023.

The two men, ages 41 and 18, were ar­rest­ed af­ter they were found to be in pos­ses­sion of two (2) of the four (4) an­i­mals re­port­ed miss­ing by a Cen­tral farmer on May 5th.

Re­ports say on May 6, the vic­tim, a live­stock farmer who oc­cu­pies thir­ty (30) acres of lease­hold agri­cul­tur­al, re­port­ed that four (4) of his an­i­mals were miss­ing: two (2) bull calves val­ued at $5000.00 each and two (2) adult cows val­ued at $8000.00 each.

Based on the in­for­ma­tion re­ceived, the PLS, ac­com­pa­nied by mem­bers of the Trinidad and To­ba­go Po­lice Ser­vice (TTPS), vis­it­ed an open area in Cunu­pia where two (2) of the four (4) miss­ing an­i­mals were dis­cov­ered.

The two (2) ac­cused men were ar­rest­ed and charged by WPC Kissoon of the PLS South Cen­tral Base, in con­nec­tion with the miss­ing an­i­mals.
