Illegal cattle slaughter and beef trafficking have increased amid the food shortages suffered by Cubans.
In December, the Villa Clara police arrested a Cuban who was allegedly transporting 600 pounds of beef on a horse stolen from a cooperative.
The incident occurred in the area known as "El Negrito", in the municipality of Manicaragua.
In that province they were also arrested, in November, two Cubans who illegally transported more than 100 pounds of beef in the Corralillo municipality.
