Kampala Metropolitan Police has reported a significant progress in investigations into a simple robbery case in which Shs45,184,600 was stolen from officials of Riverside Forex Bureau.
On 6th May 2026, the manager of the forex bureau and his colleague left Bunga Trading Centre on a motorcycle carrying USD 13,000 to exchange it into Uganda shillings.
After successfully exchanging the money at a forex bureau along Kampala Road, they were intercepted by motorcycle-riding assailants at Nsambya and robbed of the cash.
According to ASP Luke Owoyesigyire Deputy Public Relations Officer Kampala Metropolitan Police, investigations led to the recovery of a motorcycle bearing registration number UMA 655GK, whose number plate was found to have been forged to conceal the identity of the motorcycle used in the robbery.
