Old Kampala Police Division has arrested an G4S security guard, Richard Ambrose-Otim, suspected of stealing over Shs 1 billion during a cash transit operation over the weekend. His colleague, who is yet to be identified, remains on the run. According to Kampala Metropolitan deputy police spokesperson, Luke Owoyesigyire, preliminary investigations reveal that the duo conspired to rob a bullion van, registration number, UAJ 199T, while transporting cash from Lubowa to Nakasero. The van was later abandoned in Nabunya, Rubaga Division, along with two rifles.The stolen amount includes Shs 1,069,420,000 and $14,474. Following a manhunt, police apprehended Otim in Kwania district, where he was found with Shs 117 million, believed to be part of the stolen money.
