Two masked men robbed a gas station and shop during Monday night attacks in Kisoro. The armed criminals struck around 9 PM at Bihuru Village inside Nyakabande Sub-county. Police spokesman Elly Maate confirmed both robberies happened within 30 meters of each other. Ndyowawe Ishmael managed the KG Mini Petrol Station where thieves first demanded her money bag. Birungi Sarah operated the nearby shop that became their second target.
One robber pointed a gun at Ishmael and forced her to surrender the evening sales money. The criminals walked to Sarah's store and made her open the cash drawer for them. Both women gave up their money without fighting back against the armed attackers. The robbers fired two warning shots before running away into darkness. Nobody suffered injuries during either robbery incident.
Police arrived after station supervisor Kamaana Elisa reported the crimes to local commanders. Officers found two bullet shells at the scene but tracking dogs could not follow the suspects. Someone had disturbed the area before police could properly examine all evidence. Investigators continue searching for leads about the two gunmen who escaped. Maate urged business owners to hire security guards and install cameras for better protection.
