Police recover 31 stolen livestock and arrest two foreign nationals in Bulwer
Police in Bulwer have recovered 31 stolen livestock and arrested two foreign nationals during an early morning operation on Saturday, October 25, 2025.
The suspects, aged 36 and 40, were found in possession of twenty goats and eleven sheep believed to have been stolen.
According to the Bulwer SAPS Tracing Team, officers intercepted a vehicle travelling towards Pietermaritzburg and conducted a search.
Inside, they discovered the livestock along with documents allegedly authorising the transportation of the animals. However, a swift verification process revealed that the paperwork was falsified.
The person listed as the seller denied any involvement or knowledge of the sale.
The two suspects were arrested on the spot and are expected to appear before the Hlanganani Magistrates Court on Monday, October 27, 2025.
Police have praised the swift actions of the Bulwer SAPS Tracing Team, whose vigilance led to the recovery of the livestock and the arrests. Investigations into the origin of the stolen animals are ongoing.
