Livestock theft incidents reported in Manitoba and Nandurbar

In Manitoba, Canada, concerns have been raised regarding cattle theft and the fraudulent alteration of livestock brands. A petition addressed to Minister of Justice and Attorney General Matt Wiebe calls for the effective use of recently allocated funding to support a dedicated livestock investigator. The petition emphasizes the need for resources to trace stolen animals, assess animal welfare, and coordinate with other jurisdictions to ensure proper prosecution of theft and branding violations.

In Nandurbar, India, police have arrested two individuals, Mahebub Yusuf Kureshi and Hashim Pirbaksh Makrani, in connection with multiple livestock thefts. Authorities seized approximately 820,000 rupees in cash, two vehicles, and a motorcycle used in the crimes. The investigation linked the suspects to several thefts of cows, buffaloes, and calves across different locations, including Shahada taluka.
