Police arrest five armed robbery suspects, recover government guns in Kampala metropolitan area

Kampala Metropolitan Police spokesperson Rachael Kawala said security agencies arrested five suspects linked to a series of aggravated robberies and recovered three firearms; a police source told the Daily Monitor the guns belonged to the UPDF, the Uganda Police Force and a private security firm. A security source said one suspect was shot dead in a shoot-out and another surrendered, and one suspect reportedly claimed the gang was led by a Joint Anti-Terrorism Task Force commander, a claim police declined to comment on.
