The Resident District Commissioner, Mr Joseph Arwata, said the warriors had reportedly raided the area to steal cattle.
"These notorious warriors attacked LDU guards at 1am on Saturday night but they were repulsed," he said.
Arwata said the warriors whose number could not be established failed to steal any cattle.
He said the Anti Stock Theft Unit (ASTU) foiled an attempted raid by another group of rustlers from Kenya.
"Six Pokot warriors crossed through Swam border to raid cattle but residents tipped off the ASTU, who intercepted them," he said.
The ASTU recovered more than 20 head of cattle from the Pokot.
Meanwhile, President Yoweri Museveni has said the army has deployed heavily in Karamoja to fight cattle rustlers.
"The story of the Karimojong cattle rustlers will bea thing of the past. Karamoja will be totally pacified," he said.
Museveni was on Friday meeting leaders of the municipal council at the council Chambers.
