KWAZULU-NATAL. – Mi7 Port Shepstone's armed response teams recovered 110 stolen chickens after following up on information about livestock theft for hours. Approximately 142 chickens, ten crates and a wheelbarrow were initially stolen from a farm.
According to the company's statement, Mi7 immediately began gathering information through its local informants in surrounding communities. Information led the teams to the Louisiana area, where chickens suspected to be linked to the theft were believed to have been sold. Shortly after 03:00, a property was identified where the teams could hear chickens and noticed crates bearing the owner's marks. The owner was summoned and identified the chickens and crates as those stolen from the farm. The case was handed over to police for further investigation.
Of the approximately 142 chickens initially stolen, 110 were recovered, while the rest were not found on the property.
