Police raid city shops, find stolen TVs, radios

Police last week raided Corner Stone Arcade on Mengo Hill Road in Kampala City and recovered more than 100 television sets and more than a dozen radios suspected to be stolen from different homesteads.

The suspected stolen items were kept in shelves being sold to unsuspected buyers.

Police spokesman Kituuma Rusoke said the recovered electronic appliances were robbed by armed gangs that break into houses and shops at night or when the owners aren’t around during day in different parts of Kampala Metropolitan Area and sold to shops at Cornerstone Plaza in Kampala City.

“A subsequent search on August 16 at Cornerstone led to the recovery of a significant quantity of stolen items, including: 106 TVs, 15 DSTV decoders, 16 woofers, seven speakers, two mobile phones, two play stations, 19 scrap laptops and various tools and accessories,” Assistant Commissioner of Police Rusoke said.

“Additionally, two more suspects were arrested for buying stolen laptops..”
