Police spokesperson Luke Owoyesigyire said officers recovered Shs21 million in cash during a search conducted at the time of arrest.
“The recovered money is suspected to be part of the funds stolen during the robbery. Investigations are ongoing to establish the full circumstances surrounding the incident,” Owoyesigyire said.
Police believe the suspect worked with other accomplices who are still at large.
Authorities say the suspect is currently being held at a police station in Kampala as detectives continue gathering evidence to support prosecution.
Police have since intensified operations to dismantle criminal gangs involved in robbery within the city.
The suspect is expected to appear in court and defend himself about the incident once investigations are concluded.
