Police dog tracks down Namisindwa chairperson in Shs 10m robbery

NAMISINDWA. Police in Namisindwa are actively seeking the LC I chairperson of Bubutu TC cell, accusing them of masterminding the theft of Shs 10 million.

Allegedly, Fred Masika led a group of armed individuals in a raid on Kibeti Mutuma’s shop, where they took Shs 7 million, and also targeted Paulo Manawa’s shop, stealing Shs 3 million.

During a search on Friday, police, accompanied by a sniffer dog, traced Masika’s residence but found it empty.

Imran Muluga, the Namisidwa resident district commissioner, expressed concern over the increasing frequency of shop break-ins in Bubutu town council, Bubutu sub-county, and Lwakhakha town.

Housebreaking tools were reportedly discovered during a search of Masika’s home.
