The latest intelligence reports the senior police detectives have given to the Inspector General of Police, Lt. Gen. Kale Kayihura indicates that the thugs mix fast foods like chips, chapatti and eggs (rolex) and chicken with sleeping inducing drugs and give it to night guards, dogs and house maids before they carry out the robbery.

For instance thugs broke into a factory and two forex bureaus in Entebbe recently and robbed millions of shillings using the same tricks.

The Entebbe police commander, Edgar Nyabongo says many people have been arrested in connection with such incidents and urged the members of the public to be extra vigilant. Nyabongo says that the thugs are using people’s friends to offer them drugged food before they appear to carry out the robbery.

Police Chief Maj. Gen. Kale Kayihura says that the police have unearthed information that car thieves are going to be in full swing during the Christmas season.

Kayihura however says that the police have deployed heavily around the country to curb cases of car robberies.

The Major General told informers that they too must be careful because the robbers may want to kill them in order to conceal evidence of the robbery.

Last week the police in Kampala arrested one of the suspected car robbers in town, Norman Ninsiima after he reportedly conspired with his friends and robbed Toyota Premio belonging to Denis Ahimbisibwe, a businessman in town.

Kayihura says that car thieves many times first befriend vehicle owners or drivers before they conduct the robberies.
