Police in Nansana are hunting for occupants of a Toyota Harrier abandoned with two cows in Ganda, Wakiso District, amid suspected cattle theft.

Kampala Metropolitan Police Deputy Spokesperson Luke Owoyesigyire said the white Toyota Harrier, registration number AU758N, was discovered in Nassere Village, Kyebando Parish, on November 8, 2026, at approximately 5:40am.

According to Owoyesigyire, the vehicle’s occupants reportedly abandoned it and fled after allegedly attempting to divert towards an abattoir.

A search of the vehicle led to the recovery of two cows, a panga and a metal cutter, which police suspect could be connected to the alleged theft.

Addressing journalists at Police Headquarters in Naguru, Owoyesigyire appealed to anyone who may have lost cows or a vehicle matching the recovered items to report to Nansana Police Station for identification and verification.

He said police had examined the scene, recorded statements from relevant individuals and launched investigations to establish the circumstances surrounding the incident and track down the suspects.

Police are continuing with inquiries as they seek to establish the ownership of the recovered cows and vehicle.
