A Mvurwi farmer is counting losses after three of her cattle were stolen from her cattle pen before being slaughtered meters away from her house.
Magret Manyika (56) of Plot 33 Prangamere farm in Mvurwi lost her cattle to unknown cattle rustlers.
Mashonaland Central police spokesperson Inspector Milton Mundembe confirmed the case.
"I can confirm that we are hunting for cattle rustlers who stole three cattle in Mvurwi and slaughtered them meters away from the farmer's house," Mundembe said.
It is alleged that last week, the cattle rustlers slaughtered the stolen cattle, left five sacks of deboned meat in a bushy area.
The police are urging farmers to join forces with them by patrolling their neighbourhoods at night and also practising collective grazing.
