Addressing the media at Naguru, the Police Spokesman Fred Enanga says that some cases have already been referred to courts of law with suspects involved being charged include the 21 people found gathered in local bars drinking alcohol in Katonda region.
He further says that during the operation, 17 suspects involved in stealing pineapples along Barton Street in Kampala were arrested, several vehicles like buses, taxies and private cars together with bodabodas transporting people were intercepted.
Enanga further clarifies that those suspects who were arrested and released on bond or cautioned include some religious leaders will be subjected to courts of law once Coronavirus spread is defeated.
However, Enanga notes it that the presidential suspension of public gatherings has contributed to the reduction of some criminal acts like burglaries, house breaking, snatching of properties among others due to people’s home staying.
Though there are reductions in crimes but domestic violence in increasing in people’s homes according to Enanga.
