In April this year, several hundred sheep were reported missing by a farmer near Coolabah.
Following inquiries by rural crime officers from Darling River Local Area Command, 35 ewes were located on a property north of Gilgandra and another five found in Cobar.
On Monday a 34-year-old Cobar man attended Nyngan Police Station and was arrested and charged with stock theft in relation to the sheep worth approximately $6,000.
The man was granted conditional bail to appear before Nyngan Local Court on November 25.
The arrest comes as a timely reminder regarding stock wander onto neighbouring properties.
The Impounding Act 1993 clearly stipulates steps a property owner must take action if neighbouring stock wander onto their property.
