Greedy cattle rustlers who tried to steal 32 animals ended up bundling some of the animals into two cars when they could not fit all of them inside their cattle truck.
The crooks were however spotted and arrested when cops stopped them and discovered the cattle crammed awkwardly inside the vehicles in Assam’s Nagaon District in India.
The images seen here show some of the 32 stolen cattle that not fit inside the truck and were recovered from a car boot.
One photo shows what appears to be a calf crammed into the boot of one of the vehicles, with its head twisted in what looks to be a very uncomfortable position.
Another photo shows what appears to be two cows in the back of another vehicle lying on top of one another after they were found by the police team led by Sub-Divisional Police Officer (SDPO) Kaliabor Rupjyoti Dutta during the night raid.
The startling incident took place in Assam’s Nagaon District last night, the police said today, on Wednesday, 18th October, with the cops saying they had arrested one person and seized three vehicles, with the third vehicle apparently being the cattle transporter.
Newsflash obtained a statement from the Nagaon Police saying: “A District Police team led by Rupjyoti Dutta, SDPO, Kaliabor conducted operation against Cattle theft and recovered 32 Stolen Cattle. Three vehicles have been seized and the main accused arrested for further Lawful Action.” (sic)
The police said that the investigation was ongoing.
There have reportedly been a number of incidents of cattle theft in the area in recent months.
