Police in Nebbi District are holding Munguryek Morgan on allegations of stealing a motorcycle belonging to Jakisa Emmy Saviour.
Preliminary investigations reveal that on 26th January 2026, Jakisa Emmy Saviour woke up and discovered that his motorcycle had been stolen from where it was parked.
He immediately reported the incident to police under SD Reference 15/27/01/2026 and requested the deployment of a police sniffer dog.
A team of officers, led by a dog handler, promptly responded to the scene of crime, which was found to be well preserved.
A police sniffer dog, T/P 237 Pablo, was introduced to the scent bed and successfully picked up a human scent believed to have been left behind by the suspect.
The dog tracked the scent for approximately 80 metres, leading officers to a location where a motorcycle handle had been abandoned.
The tracking continued and eventually led the team to a nearby residence. After briefly rotating, the dog proceeded directly to a pit latrine, where Munguryek Morgan was found hiding.
The suspect was immediately arrested and escorted to Nebbi Police Station to assist with further investigations. The recovered motorcycle handle has been secured as an exhibit. Investigations are ongoing.
