THE Erongo Police are in search of four men who are suspected to be involved in a stock theft incident that took place at Harmony Farm, in Okambahe settlement in the Omaruru district.
Erike Mathew Oxurub and three others, only known as Michael, Fritz, and Shandiza, are allegedly part of a group of men who unlawfully and intentionally slaughtered three cows, valued at N$50 000, and drove off with the carcasses on 17 March at about 10:45.
Oxurub is also wanted for his alleged participation in another stock theft incident involving the killing of 40 animals that took place between 13 and 14 March in Omaruru.
While the police are still searching for the four suspects, three other suspects, a 43-year-old businessman from Narraville and two men aged 34 and 23 respectively from Swakopmund, have already been arrested. They will make their first court appearance at the Omaruru Magistrate’s Court on Monday.
The arrests came after the police recovered one thigh, a front leg, a rib and a backbone from one of the suspects’ houses in Narraville in Walvis Bay on Friday.
The police also confiscated the vehicle that was used in the commissioning of the crime at Swakopmund.
Anyone with information regarding the whereabouts of the four suspects is urged to report to the nearest police station or to contact Detective Simson Nghiteeka at 081 268 9687.
