Kampala Metropolitan Police North has recovered about 80 suspected stolen motorcycles and arrested nine suspects during an intelligence-led operation conducted in Munaku Zone, Lubya Parish, Rubaga Division, Kampala District.
The operation followed ongoing investigations into robbery cases involving motorcycles. On 16th June 2026, intelligence led officers to a parking yard in Munaku Zone where two motorcycles suspected to have been used in a robbery in Muyenga were recovered.
Further inquiries revealed that the same yard was allegedly being used as a source of motorcycles hired and later used in the commission of criminal activities, particularly robberies.
The territorial police at Old Kampala, together with detectives and Scene of Crime Officers, responded to the information and conducted a thorough search of the premises. During the operation, about 80 motorcycles suspected to be stolen were recovered and taken to Old Kampala Police Station for safe custody.
Nine suspects were arrested and are currently in police custody pending interrogation and further investigations to establish the ownership of the recovered motorcycles and their possible connection to other criminal activities.
