They are part of 25 cows, which were reported stolen in Nyagatare, Gatsibo and Kayonza districts between July and September, this year.
About 63 people connected to the theft have been arrested in the same period.
The RNP spokesperson, Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Boniface Rutikanga, said: "Suspects are in four categories; those who steal cows from farms including herdsmen, those who slaughter them, those who transport them and buyers. We have been able to break these chains due to the strong partnership and information sharing with the public."
He added that increased operations have also led to the arrest of drug traffickers and smugglers.
"Due to these increased operations, drug traffickers and smugglers have resorted to spreading rumours of insecurity and sometimes these gangs attempting to assault people as a way of causing fear so that they do not share information on their cross-border criminal activities.
Some of them have been arrested and the search for other members of the ring is still underway," ACP Rutikanga said.
