POLICE have arrested three men in connection with the alleged theft of two bulls valued at $240,000.
The bulls belonged to Ganisey Parsram, a 63-year-old pensioner of #64 Village, Corentyne, Berbice.

The suspects, identified as Noel Gray, 26; Shermond Thompson, 44; and Oudwin Binda, 47, all labourers of Corentyne, were detained as part of the ongoing investigation into the larceny of cattle.
According to a police release, Chavand Parsram, a 37-year-old cattle farmer and son of the victim, said that his father had been the registered owner of Brand #OG98 for approximately 20 years, using it to mark all his cattle, including the two stolen bulls.
Chavand recounted that on the evening of August 1, he had secured the bulls in a mesh pen at No. 64 Village pasture and left for his residence.
However, upon returning the next morning, he discovered the bulls were missing.

The situation escalated on the night of August 7 when Chavand received a phone call about someone allegedly stealing cattle and loading them into a car at No. 64 Village.
He promptly reported the matter to the Springlands Police Station.

Police officers responded swiftly and intercepted a Raum vehicle with registration number PPP 2810, driven by Noel Gray and occupied by Shermond Thompson and Oudwin Binda. The men, however, denied transporting stolen cattle.
A search of the vehicle revealed four-quarters of the meat, which bore the brand number registered to Parsram and was suspected to be from the stolen bulls.
“The three suspects were questioned as to where they were taking the meat (carcass) at that time of the night without the necessary documents. The men found in possession of the carcass had no transit, no veterinary pass or notice of intention to slaughter at the time they were stopped and searched.

“They all related those two men (called Jerry and Brooks) gave them the two bulls, and they were taking the meat to Cromarty Village,” the police release said.
The suspects were subsequently informed of the offence, arrested, cautioned, and taken to the Springlands Police Station along with the carcass.
They are currently in custody pending further investigation into the larceny of cattle. Police are currently looking to contact ‘Jerry’ and ‘Brooks’, as investigations continue.
