Kampala, (UG):- The Police at Kabowa in Kampala Metropolitan Division are holding one Muwanguzi Isaac, a 21-year-old arrested on allegations of being behind the rampant theft from motor vehicles in the city centre.
Muwanguzi, a resident of Salama Road in Makindye Division was apprehended on Monday, February 26, 2024, following intensive surveillance and tracking efforts by the police at Kabowa station.
Police’s preliminary investigations have revealed that Muwanguzi who primarily operates in the areas of Kabowa, Makindye, and Salama, has for long been targeting residential properties to steal number plates and occasionally other vehicle parts.
