The Uganda Police Force successfully disrupted a daring robbery attempt involving UGX 500 million at Acacia Mall. Four suspects were neutralized on-site, while a fifth remains in critical condition. The suspects, believed to be part of a notorious robbery ring already under police surveillance, targeted Stanbic Bank in a meticulously planned heist.
Through an intelligence-driven operation, police deployed officers strategically, intercepting the suspects as they attempted to flee on motorcycles. The robbers had tracked their target from Acacia Mall, aiming to snatch a cash bag, but were intercepted at key points, including Total Acacia and Tagore Road.
Six suspects in total were neutralized, and officers recovered two motorcycles, two pangas, and pepper spray from the scene. Investigations are ongoing to uncover more details about this organized crime group. Police have commended the swift action of their team, emphasizing their commitment to ensuring public safety.
