Police news: Lincoln County Sheriff's office looking for cattle thieves (November 13, 2012) |
STANFORD — Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office is searching for suspects who allegedly broke into the Lincoln County Stockyards on Nov. 5 and stole seven head of cattle.
Sheriff Curt Folger said the alleged thieves gained access to the stockyards by cutting a chain on the front gate. Then, they probably used a trailer to remove four cows and three steers from the business.
“I would say that they probably loaded up the trailer with all it could hold,” Folger said.
The seven cattle — four Holsteins, one Jersey steer, one red steer and one black-and-white-faced steer — are valued at about $5,000.
The cattle are all tagged. Anyone with information is encouraged to call the sheriff’s office at (606) 365-2696.
