60 sheep of Weide in Hürth stolen

The police in the Rhein-Erft district have been looking for a flock of sheep with a total of 60 animals that have been stolen by a pasture in Hürth. This event not only alerted the owner of the animals, but also the local community.

The 56-year-old owner noticed around 12.30 p.m. that the fencing of her pasture on Burbacher Strasse was open. She no longer found the entire flock of sheep and immediately informed the police. When arriving at the scene of the crime, the officers documented the traces and started initial investigations. The sheep owner stated that it was camera sheep and that she last saw it on Thursday afternoon.

In this case, the criminal police have initiated investigations into suspected cattle theft. In this context, witnesses are sought. People who may be able to provide information about the removal of the sheep, suspicious persons or the whereabouts of the animals are asked to contact the police. Contact is possible both by phone and email.

animal theft is not only an economic problem for the owners concerned, but also affects animal welfare. The stolen sheep are not only a loss for the owner, but also a violation of trust in the safety of grazing. Such offenses can be a great burden on agricultural community, especially if they occur frequently.

Recently, media reports have increased in the region about similar cases, which underlines the need for increased surveillance and community actions. Local authorities and agricultural organizations often work together to develop preventive measures that can counteract animal thefts while the protection of animals is ensured at the same time.
