Police in Nansana Municipality have arrested four suspects believed to be behind a series of robberies targeting bank clients in the area.
The four suspects were apprehended during operations conducted between March 10 and March 14, 2026, in connection with the robberies.
The suspects are alleged to have been waylaying individuals returning from banking halls and robbing them of cash and other valuables.
According to Assistant Superintendent of Police Luke Owoyesigyire, the Kampala Metropolitan Police spokesperson, the identities of the suspects have been withheld to avoid jeopardizing ongoing investigations.
During interrogation, the suspects reportedly confessed to participating in several robbery incidents targeting bank clients, including those around Base Hotel and other banking points within Nansana.
Owoyesigyire said preliminary findings indicate that the suspects carried out the attacks while armed with pangas and used boda-bodas as a means of transport to facilitate their quick escape from the crime scenes.
He urged members of the public, especially bank clients, to remain vigilant and seek police escort or use safer means when carrying large sums of money.
Owoyesigyire added that investigations are ongoing to establish the full extent of the suspects’ criminal network and to apprehend any other accomplices who may still be at large.
