The Flying Squad Unit in collaboration with Kampala Metropolitan police are currently carrying out an operation against theft of motor vehicles.
Eight vehicles have so far been recovered while five suspects have been arrested.
ASP Luke Owoyesigyire Deputy PRO KMP says four vehicles have been claimed by the owners, while the remaining four vehicles are currently parked at CID headquarters, Kibuli, for safe custody.
Two of these are numberless.
Owoyesigyire says Police are working with other agencies to establish owners and hand them over.
“During investigations, we have established that the recovered vehicles were stolen from Kampala Metropolitan Area and later driven by criminals to public parking in Lugala, Kosovo, Nakulabye and Nakawuka. The suspects later sell the stolen vehicles in whole or dismantle them and sell their parts,” Owoyesigyire says.
He adds that they are currently interested in arresting the buyers of these stolen vehicles as it has been proved that they buy them, despite knowing that they are stolen.
