Today, 23rd June 2026, Police patrol officers successfully foiled an armed robbery incident in Ssemwogerere Zone, Nakawa Division, Kampala District.
Preliminary information indicates that at about 0050 hours, a businessman together with his wife was walking along Mukasa Road when they were intercepted by three armed robbers. The suspects ordered the couple to stop and lie down, which they complied with.
The robbers proceeded to rob the businessman of his mobile phone and wallet at gunpoint. As they turned to demand the woman’s phone, police officers who were conducting motorcycle patrols in the area arrived at the scene.
Upon noticing the police presence, the suspects fled, abandoning a bag that contained suspected stolen property and a rifle.
Police officers immediately pursued the suspects, and during the operation, one unidentified male suspect, believed to be approximately 25 years old, was put out of action.
The following exhibits were recovered from the scene:
– One SAR rifle
