Cattle thieves have devised new ways of stealing lucrative dairy cattle to get an edge over authorities and livestock owners.
Residents of Kandara, Murang'a County, were recently left baffled after a spate of cattle theft, with the perpetrators mainly targeting dairy cattle.
The residents, mostly from Joga, Kabati, and Nguthuru constituencies, gave detailed accounts of how they lost their cattle, with the theft mainly occurring at night.
One resident recalled an encounter with the thieves but backed away for fear of his life.
