The gun was grabbed from the officer as he disembarked from a boda boda near the Division headquarters’ checkpoint at Nsangi.

Criminals riding on motorcycles arrived, grabbed the weapon and sped off.

Police Deputy Spokesperson, Polly Namaye, said since the incident, police have registered four mobile money incidents including attempted murder by shooting of one of the victims who tried to make an alarm.

Police also registered an armed robbery in Mubende as depicted by a CCTV footage that went viral on social media and the murder of a police officer of Kassanda, CPL Joseph Olaya, who was part of the team that attempted to intercept the group as they fled on motorcycles from the scene.

She said the suspects also grabbed a gun magazine that belonged to the deceased.

In connection, Namaye said six suspects have been arrested and the motor vehicle which they have been using in the robberies, has also been recovered.

“We have since established from our analysis interrogations and critical examination of the different scenes that the recovered gun was the same one used in different robberies recently by this racket,” she said.

She added that further investigations are ongoing. She also reassured the public that all the criminals targeting mobile money dealers shall be brought to book.
