Chieftaincy of Military Intelligence (CMI) and Internal Security Organization (ISO) have joined police Flying Squad Unit (FSU) to hunt for robbers of gold valued at 2.5 Billion Shillings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The thugs travelling in a Toyota Hiace waylaid a Toyota Wish UBE 139G loaded with 8 gold packets belonging to Bullion Refinery (U) Ltd based in Arua City three days ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Wish was waylaid at Nseke trading centre, Ngogolo parish, Butuuntula sub country, at around midnight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Victims of the robbery rushed to Savannah regional police headquarters in Luweero and opened a case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Luweero police quickly alerted FSU which has since sought the intervention of CMI and ISO to track the thugs’ movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Security agencies in a joint statement through Fred Enanga, the Police Spokesperson said the military and police agencies have since joined hands to ensure the robbers are arrested so that stolen gold is recovered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to the victims\u2019 statement, the armed robbers also took their mobile phones and 90,000 shillings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe were intercepted at Nseke trading centre by armed thugs moving in a Toyota Hiace and they were five in number. It looks like they had someone telling them about our movement and waited for us at a spot where we had very little to do,\u201d an employee of the company said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Enanga said the employees were coming to Kampala when they were blocked by the robbers in a Toyota Hiace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe employees were handcuffed, blindfolded with head masks, and driven up to Kungu village in Wobulenzi town council, and abandoned there with their motor vehicle,\u201d Enanga said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some of the robbers escaped the scene with the loot on the motorcycle. Police said that robbers took advantage of the night movement of the Bullion Refinery (U) Ltd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Security based on the previous incidents where gold was stolen in Luweero with the connivance of the employees, they also suspect an insider being involved.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
