A 29-YEAR-OLD Angolan man has been arrested for stealing 31 goats valued at N$55 000 at Okamboola village in Omusati’s Ruacana Constituency.
The suspect is from Etapela village in Angola.
According to Crime Coordinator Deputy Commissioner Moses Simaho, the crime was committed on Sunday when the suspect was found in possession of the stock and failed to give a satisfactory reason.
“All the goats were recovered,” he said.
In a separate incident, at Otjorute village, a man is yet to be arrested for stock theft after he allegedly drove away two heads of cattle from the grazing area without the owner’s consent.
The animals are valued at N$21 000 and have been recovered.
Simaho said the suspect is a cattle herder at Okalundu village cattle post and known by the complainant.
