RCMP are investigating two cases of cattle poaching in the Quesnel and Hixon areas.
Corporal Cory Lepine of the Livestock Investigations Service says the bodies of two cows were found in mid-September.
The cow in Hixon was found shot and fully harvested. The cow in Quesnel was found at the 9,1/2 kilometre mark off the 500 Forest Service Road, near Nylund Lake Camp. This one had only been shot and killed.
Lepine says these crimes of opportunity are common during this time of year.
He is also investigating another separate case of cattle poaching in Merritt.
Lepine asks if anyone has information on these incidents or other cattle poaching incidents to call the Livestock Investigations Service at (250)-828-3128.
