HOIMA, UGANDA: Police in Hoima are investigating circumstances under which armed robbers invaded and stole two cows from a livestock farm at Bigando village, Nyakabingo parish, in Buseruka Sub County in Hoima district, Western Uganda.
According to the Albertine Region Police Spokesperson, Julius Allan Hakiza, the incident occurred on Sunday, June 4, 2023, at around 2:00 a.m. when Daniel Talemwa, 50, went to guard his animals, and there came five people wearing overcoats.
In the process of flashing the torch, Talemwa managed to identify one of them as being armed with a gun.
Hakiza said the victims had to run away in fear, and when they came back in the morning to do stock checking, they found out that two cows had been stolen from the kraal.
The regional police mouthpiece says efforts to look for the suspects are on since no one has yet been arrested, thus advising cattle keepers to guard their cattle jealousy and report any case of theft to the immediate police station.
He adds that due to the rampant cattle theft in the district, some thieves are now using toy guns while others have real ones.
