Gardaí issue warning over rustling of cattle and sheep

A joint campaign launched by Crimestoppers, the Irish Farmers Association, and and the gardaí is offering €10,000 for information leading to the arrest and charge of cattle- and sheep-rustlers.

Theft of cattle and sheep is an issue that affects all regions of Ireland, causing significant problems for the farmers who fall victim to the criminals.

Last year, one farmer had 17 of his 18 calves stolen by thieves, causing significant financial loss, according to the joint group.
