Police in Kazo working together with the residents of Buremba Sub county have arrested two suspects on allegations of stealing 24 cows from Kakoni in Buremba Sub-county Kazo district.
The arrest was made during the operation which was conducted on Saturday 8th October 2022 following an incident where 24 heads of cattle had been stolen.
The stolen cattle belonged to Nobert Turyahikayo Nobert, a resident of Kakoni ward, Buremba Sub-county.
