RESIDENTS URGED TO COOPERATE WITH POLICE TO FIGHT THEFT

BY BRIAN MUHEREZA-IBANDA

Residents of Rukiri Sub County in Ibanda district have been urged to cooperate with police in the fight against the escalating property theft and other forms of criminality in the area.

The call was made by ASP Young Alfred, the OC Rukiri Police Post while speaking to congregants at the Annual General Meeting (AGM) of Rugarama Sacco in Rukiri Sub County on Tuesday.

According to the OC, some individuals fear to report cases to police for unclear reasons and this hinders the tracking of criminality among members of the public.

He reminded the public that police are meant to keep law and order but not harass people, emphasizing the importance of people working hand in hand with security operatives to create harmony.
