SARCIS police say clearly branding stock and maintaining fences are two good ways to minimise cattle theft … but another good way is reporting missing cattle early (Photo: QPS)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

December 1, 2015<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Queensland Stock and Rural Crime Investigation Squad (SARCIS) says one of its biggest barriers to solving crimes are delays in reporting suspected cattle theft.<\/p>\n

This causes difficulty in investigating any theft.<\/p>\n

“If you suspect you are missing stock, report it immediately,” Detective Senior Sergeant Jim Lacey said.<\/p>\n

“Often we\u2019ll get a complaint that is six months down the track.<\/p>\n

“By that time, the cattle could be in South Australia, it could have gone through the meatworks or it could be on a boat heading out of the Northern Territory.”<\/p>\n

Thanks to a restructure and extra funding that now has hubs based in Toowoomba, Rockhampton and Mareeba, SARCIS is now better equipped to tackle rural crime.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“In the past, a complaint would be made and you would be told to muster, talk to your neighbours and then come back to us before we could investigate,” Sergeant Lacey said.<\/p>\n

“We still do that, but now we record your complaint, send out the information about missing stock and our guys head out to the saleyards while you muster.<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s now very easy to report rural crime with our Policelink smartphone app.<\/p>\n

“It will give you instant access to the blog and it allows you to upload photos of suspicious activities or send us an email.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
