Several cases of goat theft have occurred in Depok, West Java. (kompas.com/Pramdia Arhando Julianto)
A
peculiar theft case in which parts of goats were stolen after their innards were taken out and left inside a pen has happened again in Depok, West Java.
The meat and hides of eleven goats owned by a man, Ismail, were stolen from a pen on Jl. Cilangkap in Cilangkap on Friday dawn.
The thief apparently butchered the goats on site and left their innards inside the pen.
Ismail found that his goats were gone when he went to feed them on Friday morning.
"All of my goats were gone with only their innards left," Ismail said as quoted by wartakota.tribunnews.com.
A similar case happened in Rangkalan Jaya Baru, Pancoran Mas, Depok, in mid-October in which a thief stole 12 goats owned by a resident, Aming.
Similar incidents were also reported in Sawangan and Bulak Timur, both in Depok.
Depok Police spokesman Adj. Comr. Sutrisno said the police suspected the series of thefts were committed by the same person.
He went on to suggest that residents intensify their monitoring of goats.
"We will also patrol the area more frequently, especially during the times in which the thief committed the crime," he said. (cal)
