The Directorate of Crime Intelligence has announced that it will begin arresting and investigating all private security guards who claim to have been sedated with intoxicating substances by criminals while on duty.
According to police, this is due to an increasing number of cases in which private security guards continue to accept food and drinks from strangers despite repeated warnings.
While addressing the press, police spokesperson Fred Enanga noted that this could be a new tactic used by criminals in conspiracy with some private security personnel who guard financial institutions, petrol stations, depots and other businesses that handle a lot of cash and stock.
From now onwards, Enanga revealed that police will start arresting such security guards for further questioning because they could be the ones hatching deals for criminals.
For instance, in Busoga East, police have in detention two private security guards who conspired with criminals who robbed a village SACCO called Bugade SACCO Idudi of unspecified amount of money. END.
