Brazen theft in the Rhön: A mother cow disappeared from a pasture. The calf was left alone. The police are looking for witnesses.

Poppenhausen – An incident occurred in a pasture on Kreisstraße 160 near Poppenhausen between Sunday evening (April 26th), 7:30 p.m., and Monday morning (April 27th), 8:30 a.m., which raises many questions. According to the police, unknown perpetrators stole a brown and white mother cow.

Theft in the Rhön: Unknown people steal a mother cow from the pasture

According to the police, the owner cannot explain the theft: the pasture fence is undamaged. Therefore, the possibility of the animal simply escaping can be almost ruled out. The police assume that the cow was deliberately led out of the paddock and probably transported away with a suitable livestock trailer.

Particularly tragic: The cow was separated from her herd and especially from her calf, with whom she was standing in the meadow between the districts of Heckenhof and Kohlstöcken.

The East Hesse police headquarters has started the investigation and is asking the public for help. We are looking for witnesses who noticed suspicious people or vehicles in the area of ​​K 160 during the period in question. Information can be given via the telephone number (0661) 1050 or the Online watch accepted.

Meanwhile, the officials in Vogelsberg also had to use animals: A pedestrian found a dead constrictor snake in a lake.
