Juvenile Cattle Rustler Strikes In Calaveras

Mokelumne Hill, CA -- A 16-year-old juvenile is facing numerous misdemeanor and felony charges in a case of modern day cattle rustling in Calaveras County.

Detectives located the juvenile suspect and took him into custody.

The money and the cattle were recovered and returned to their original owners.
