A possible attempted theft of cattle has the Trigg County Sheriff’s Office warning the community to check on cattle and report any suspicious activity.
Trigg County Sheriff Aaron Acree says they were called to a farm near Broadbent Boulevard after a report of a gate lock that had been tampered with and found the lock had been damaged by gunfire.
Deputies were able to recover the bullet and shell casing from the scene.
Acree says law enforcement in surrounding counties have also reported cattle theft and after finding this lock on the gate damaged he is asking the community to report any suspicious activity and to count and check their livestock daily.
Acree says the investigation is still open and he will be following up with the local farmers about what to look for in case of attempted cattle theft.
If you have seen any suspicious activity you are asked to call the Trigg County Sheriff’s Office at 270-522-6014.
