Kampala police caught 99 people during major crime sweeps across three areas over two days. Officers worked with army troops and local leaders to hit known trouble spots. The teams searched for drug users and thieves who hurt citizens.
Police grabbed 30 suspects from hideouts around Wakiso District on June 11. Officers found opium and arrested people who robbed homes and stole from neighbors. The suspects sat behind bars at Kira Police Station waiting for court dates.
That same night police rounded up 60 men wandering the streets of central Kampala. These men were taking drugs and snatching phones from people walking past. Officers found them near busy shopping areas and taxi stands.
Early June 12 brought nine more arrests in Mukono District during another raid. Police discovered more opium and caught robbers who had been hitting local victims. Security forces charged all suspects and locked them up pending trial.
Police spokesman ASP Luke Owoyesigyire said his teams will keep hunting criminals across the city. He asked citizens to call police when they spot suspicious behavior. The operations show how police plan to clean up dangerous neighborhoods through smart detective work and community help.
