A student at the Makerere University College of Veterinary Medicine has been arrested with a colleague over office breaking and theft at the College of Veterinary Medicine, Makerere University, at the Postmortem Department building.
According to a police statement, the arrests carried out today, Tuesday, April 14, 2026 followed an incident that occurred on Monday night, 13th April.
Following a report of theft, Police at Wandegeya responded to the incident and deployed a sniffer dog to aid investigations.
“The canine, Boela, successfully picked up a scent from the scene and tracked it for approximately 900 metres to a nearby residential area,” says police adding that the dog subsequently led officers to a house occupied by two suspects, identified as Ochieng David and Wandwali Colline.
A search of the premises led to the recovery of several suspected stolen items, including electrical wire cables and extensions, five CPUs, one Dell desktop computer, two office chairs, one printer, six black Dell projectors, a cupboard, a hard disk, gloves marked for Makerere University, a curtain frame, a projector screen, and one laptop.
Preliminary findings indicate that one of the suspects, Ochieng David, is both a worker at the Makerere University farm and a student at the College of Veterinary Medicine.
The suspects are currently in custody at Makerere University Police Station as investigations continue.
