The Territorial police of Nagalama in Mukono district have intercepted Toyota Prado TX with three suspected stolen cows and shot dead two thieves.
The incident happened at around 3 am this morning at Nakasajja trading center when Toyota Prado registration number UAZ 797G white was intercepted with 3 suspected stolen cows.
It is alleged that during the wee hours of 14th May 2025, officers from Nagalama Police Station, while on routine patrol at Kalagi Trading Centre along Gayaza Road, noticed a Prado TX moving suspiciously. When signaled to stop, the vehicle instead sped off, then a pursuit ensued, and the vehicle was intercepted at Nakasajja Trading Centre.
During the pursuit, two suspects fled the vehicle on foot, while two others sustained bullet injuries and were pronounced dead en route to Mulago national referral hospital.
Efforts are currently underway to identify the origins of the recovered cattle and to ascertain the identities of the suspects who fled the scene. The bodies of the deceased suspects remain unidentified and are currently at the City Mortuary Mulago pending postmortem examination.
“We commend the officers of Nagalama Police Station for their vigilance and swift response’. Says Owoyesigyire.
There has been a noticeable rise in cattle theft across the country, and we believe the intercepted vehicle was being used to transport stolen cattle to the market.
