The suspects, believed to be brokers for the notorious Lakurawa bandits, were apprehended on December 3, 2025, at about 2:00 p.m. while attempting to sell four rustled cows to unsuspecting buyers.
During interrogation, the men reportedly confessed to helping the bandits dispose of stolen cattle and remitting the proceeds to the criminal group.
