Awg Isa bin Hj Layeh, one of the residents, said that he and other villagers had lost many cows from the village area and near Ulu Sungai Sembatang, and that they believed that the cows had been eaten by crocodiles.
Awg Isa and other villagers then laid out large fishing hooks with baits attached in an attempt to catch the 'suspect'.
