BUGIRI: Police in the Busoga East Region have arrested two suspects, Mugweri Paul and Okoi Joseph, for allegedly stealing coffee from Bulenzi Dasan’s garden in Bango Village, Bugiri District.
According to a police statement, Bulenzi discovered that his coffee had been harvested and stolen from his garden. He promptly reported the incident to the Budhaya Police Station, which deployed their K9 sniffer dog, Monica.
Monica, the K9, tracked the scent of the suspects for about 1 kilometer, eventually leading officers to Mugweri Paul’s home. Mugweri was arrested and confessed to selling the stolen coffee to Okoi Joseph.
The coffee was later recovered from Okoi’s home, where he admitted to purchasing it from Mugweri.
Uganda Police Spokesperson Rusoke Kituuma confirmed on Wednesday evening that the two suspects are currently in detention to assist with further investigations.
