Police Arrests 8 people for using Tyres to smoke cowhide

The communication officer of the Food Safety and Quality Authority Ethiene Silver, has told the Current Issues that,  Eight people are currently in police custody for allegedly using tyres to smoke cowhides, otherwise called “Cow canda” in our local dialects.

The accused persons (two men and six women) were arrested in an early morning raid while in the act at a deserted place behind the slaughterhouse in Abuko, on Tuesday 21st June 2022.

The operation was jointly conducted by officials of the Food Safety and Quality Authority and the Police, who were acting on a tip-off from a concerned consumer.

This is a developing story, but efforts are already underway to issue corrective measures which will serve as a deterrent to the alleged offenders.

Mr Silver Stated.
