Cattle dealers
Crime prevention officer for Limerick Sergeant Ber Leetch said it has been a while since cattle were reported as stolen in the county.
“I just want to make cattle dealers aware that they should check on their cattle regularly, report any suspicious activity and to make sure that they have all of the identification details of their cattle recorded,” she said.
