Two men jailed for theft of cattle

The Mahaica Magistrate’s Court has sentenced two men to three years’ imprisonment each over the theft of two heads of cattle.
Mustak Mohamed called “Ishmael”, 40, a farmer of Dochfour, East Coast Demerara (ECD), and Davon Grenion, 33, a farmer also of Dochfour, were charged with the offence of larceny of cattle contrary to Section 176 of the Criminal Law (Offences) Act.
They appeared before Magistrate Marisa Mittleholzer before whom they pleaded guilty to the charge when they appeared at the aforementioned court.
It was reported that the owner of the two pregnant animals was able to capture the rustlers by a trail of blood that was left behind. The farmer had reportedly rounded up his animals before retiring to bed. But when he woke up the following morning, two of them were missing. (G1)
