Police in Nansana have arrested four suspects in connection with a series of robberies targeting bank clients in the area, marking a significant breakthrough in ongoing investigations.
According to Kampala Metropolitan Deputy Police Spokesperson Luke Owoyesigyire, the arrests were carried out in operations conducted between 10th March and 14th March 2026.
“The Police at Nansana have registered a significant breakthrough in the ongoing investigations into a series of robberies targeting bank clients within the area,” Owoyesigyire said in a statement.
The suspects are alleged to have been waylaying individuals returning from banking halls and robbing them of cash and other valuables. During interviews, the suspects reportedly confessed to participating in multiple robbery incidents, particularly around Base Hotel and other banking points within Nansana.
Preliminary findings indicate that the group executed the attacks while armed with pangas and used boda bodas as a means of transport to facilitate quick escape from the crime scenes.
Police say investigations are ongoing to determine the full extent of the suspects’ criminal network and to apprehend any other accomplices who may still be at large.
Owoyesigyire urged members of the public to exercise caution, especially when handling large sums of money.
“We urge members of the public, especially bank clients, to remain vigilant and to seek escort or use safer means when carrying large sums of money,” he added.
Police have assured the public that further updates will be provided as inquiries into the matter continue.
