Qld cattle rustlers rounded up

Police have rounded up two alleged cattle rustlers after 800 head of cattle were stolen from a remote northwest Queensland station.

On Friday, a 56-year-old Cloncurry man was charged with stock stealing and receiving tainted property offences over thefts between 2014 and 2015, police say.

He was bailed to appear in the Richmond Magistrates Court on May 22.

It follows the arrest in January of a 34-year-old Atherton man who is accused of stealing cattle from the same property north of Richmond.

The Atherton man was charged with eleven counts of stock stealing and bailed to appear in the Mareeba Magistrates Court on April 8.
