Other dangerous items like live ammunition, master car keys, pliers and loads of narcotic drugs were recovered in the residences of the suspects arrested.
Notable among the suspects are: Fahad Kabogoza, Asia Atimango and Adam Opwonya, who are all known notorious criminals in Kisenyi area.

As a result therefore, Police preferred charges against them of being in possession of suspected stolen properties, since lady handbags and phones were recovered in their possession.
Other charges include being in possession of breaking implements and government stores. All charges against them have been sanctioned by the State Attorney.
“The suspects are to appear in court today and as Police, we shall keep carrying out these operations with an aim of having a crime-free society,” said Luke.
