The Uganda police are holding two people suspected to have been behind car theft in Kampala and neighbouring areas.

The suspects are Nsereko Farouk Alias Kasasa Hassan and Wambi Joseph Alias Kato Daniel.

According to Twiine Charles, the spokesperson of the Criminal Investigations Directorate (CID), findings indicate that they hire vehicles from people and later on sell them to unsuspecting members of the public who are later arrested for stealing them.

The suspects have been involved in several motor vehicle theft and are being investigated in several cases around KMP.

“We appeal to the general public especially persons who had bought vehicles from such unscrupulous people, and later impounded by police to come to CID headquarters and lodge a complaint before we dispose them (suspects) to the Courts of Law,” Twiine Charles said.
