Goat thieves nabbed in Manchester, police appeal to farmers to make contact

The Manchester police are appealing to farmers who may have been victims of goat thieves, especially in and around the New Green area of the parish, to make contact with them immediately.

The appeal comes as two suspected goat thieves were nabbed, and 26 goats recovered in New Green in the parish about 2:30 p.m. on Saturday, August 29.

Police reports are that a team went to investigate a farmer’s report of his animals being stolen.

Following investigative leads, the team went to the New Acres community in New Green, where the stolen goats reported, as well as others suspected to be stolen were recovered, and the men arrested.
