“Some of the suspects will be released if evidence is insufficient, while others will be processed through the courts,” Owoyesigyire explained.
The police confirmed that the suspects were implicated in stealing from residents along major roads, breaking into homes, and forcibly taking money, phones, and other valuables. The operation is part of a wider strategy by the Uganda Police Force to curb the growing insecurity in the area.
Residents welcomed the crackdown, noting that nighttime thefts and attacks had become a serious concern. “We are grateful to the police for taking action. Life at night is now a bit safer,” said a local trader.
Authorities have encouraged residents to remain vigilant and report any suspicious behavior to the nearest police post, emphasizing that community cooperation is critical for sustaining peace and security in Kyengera and its neighboring areas.
