One Soroti Regional Referral Hospital staff and two other community members have been arrested over allegedly stealing a gas cylinder.
According to principal hospital administrator Benzy Omoya, locals Jonathan Emesu and Stephen Esiau were intercepted by the police while rolling a big oxygen filled cylinder on a bicycle moving towards Hyde Park on the Soroti-Moroto Road.
Omoya said authorities at the hospital counted cylinders and found a 20L cylinder missing, leading to the arrest of plant manager Aaron Engwaru.
East Kyoga police spokesperson Edison Obukulem confirmed the arrest of the 3 suspects who he says are under police custody to help with investigations.
“Police will prefer a charge of theft against the suspects," he told journalists on Thursday.
