The territorial Police at Old Kampala has in custody a suspect identified as Sulaiman Mkanda for allegedly attempting to steal a motorcycle registration number UFL 990Q.
The incident took place on the 19th of April 2022 at about midnight at Namungona Zone.
It is alleged that on a fateful night while Mkada was on a motorcycle being ridden by another man only identified as Aine, he stopped an oncoming motorcycle UFL 990Q, pulled out a fake Police Warrant card reading D/AIP Byaruhanga Sulaiman to prove to the rider that he was a Police officer and begun questioning him why he was riding very fast.
The rider identified as Bukenya Abdul was shaken and allowed the suspect Sulaiman to remove the ignition key. However, in the process, Police patrollers led by OC Namungona arrived and Mkanda threw away the warrant card plus the ignition key and took off.
Police says the patrollers pursued and arrested him after a serious struggle and taken him to Old Kampala Police station where he is currently being held.
”We have preferred charges of impersonating a Police officer and the theft of a Motorcycle the suspect. Relevant statements have been recorded and the suspect will be arraigned in courts of law as soon as possible,” says Police.
”We are also looking into other many allegations where victims have come out to allege that officers not in uniform have previously disappeared with their Motorcycles upon impounding them.”
