Uganda Police has netted a phone snatcher in Kampala with the help of the newly installed CCTV cameras in the city.
“Results of the recently installed CCTV cameras are beginning to show up,” reads an update on Uganda Police Facebook page.
The update further reads that; “This follows arrest of Esau Nduhukire recently caught on camera stealing from passengers stuck on traffic jam at Shoprite along the Entebbe Road. Charges of theft have been preferred against him.
“He was arrested together with Musa Byamukama for being in possession of suspected stolen items. Byamukama’s arrest followed Nduhukire’s confession that after stealing, he would later take them to Byamukama for sale.
“We however advise the public to always consider personal safety by closing windows when using phones and also report such matters to police immediately after such incidents.”
