The theft of 21 head of cattle was foiled last Tuesday evening after a man on horseback was seen herding the cattle on the Glencoe / Wasbank road, near Uithoek Farm.
Surrounding farmers and members of the Glencoe Stock Theft & Endangered Species Unit managed to recover the cattle, but the horseback rider evaded arrest.
Police are appealing to anyone with information to contact the Glencoe Stock Theft Unit.
