Two soldiers nabbed for attempted cattle theft in Jasin
JASIN: Two soldiers were arrested for attempting to steal cattle from a livestock pen in Simpang Bekoh here. Jasin OCPD Supt Mohamad Rusli Mat said the two confessed to investigation officers that they tried to steal in a bid to sell the animals during the upcoming Hari Raya Aidiladha celebration next month. "The duo's botched attempt took place at 1am on Saturday (May 24) and was discovered by the owner of the cattle and goat pen after being alerted by a friend. "The owner's friend alerted the other villagers after seeing one of the suspects entering the pen, which contained 10 cows and 22 goats while the other accomplice was seen waiting in a saloon car nearby," he said on Sunday (May 25). Supt Mohamad Rusli said several villagers attempted to apprehend the suspects, but they managed to flee the scene. "The suspects later lost control and crashed into a river barrier. They then surrendered themselves at the Jasin police headquarters at about 2.30pm on Saturday (May 24)," he said. Supt Mohamad Rusli said preliminary investigations revealed they intended to sell the cattle to meet demand during the festive season in June. "They also confessed to being involved in a previous case involving the theft of a cow in the same area," he added.
