Uganda Police has arrested three men believed to be part of a racket of Boda-boda robbers.
The trio identified as Muzamir Katende of Namasuba, Asuman Kiyemba of Bujjuko and Robert Sserunjoji of Kasenge in Nakawuka confessed to the crimes before police and have since been arrested and charges preferred against them under SD REF. 06/31/03/2018 of Katwe Police Station.
It is alleged that these suspects ambush the Boda-boda riders at different spots on major roads where they clobber them with iron bars and take off with their motorcycles.
At a specific destination, they then dismantle the stolen motorcycles into unrecognisable parts that are later sold as spare parts at different shops in Kibuye, Katwe near Ring Road and Kiseeka Business area.
Police says seven suspected stolen motorcycles were recovered in their possession from Luffuka, Katwe.
Police is in collaboration with URA so as to establish and confirm ownership details of the recovered motorcycles.
Uganda Police has cautioned Boda-bod riders to take extra precaution of securing their property since robbers have now turned most of their attention to motorcycles and property at public parking spots.
