Cops retrieve another herd stolen in cross-country cattle raids. Police recovered twenty-two head of cattle taken from Meru County after a chase into neighboring Isiolo. A coordinated operation with National Police Reservists tracked the animals to the Kampi Samaki area in Garbatula.
Officers engaged suspected rustlers in a brief firefight, causing them to flee and abandon the livestock. All cattle were returned unharmed to their owner in Meru. This successful recovery brings the total number of animals retrieved in the case to fifty-two.
Authorities highlighted ongoing efforts against livestock theft in pastoral border regions. The National Police Service urged continued community intelligence sharing to improve deterrence. Security agencies pledged sustained operations amid local calls for joint policing arrangements to tackle recurrent rustling.
This follows other recent recoveries in the region, including over two hundred cattle retrieved in Tigania East after a night raid. Another operation in Garbatula previously recovered three hundred stolen goats. Police credit coordinated patrols and multi-agency collaboration for these results.
