Police Nab 78 Suspects in Northern Bypass Robbery Crackdown

Large‑scale daylight robberies along Kampala’s Northern Bypass linked to organized gangs exploiting traffic jams.

Uganda Police arrested 78 suspected criminals connected to a surge in robberies along the Kampala Northern Bypass, where ongoing road repairs have caused heavy traffic jams. The Namungoona–Bwaise section has become a hotspot for organized gangs using the congestion to intimidate and rob motorists, pedestrians, and traders. Recovered items include multiple smartphones and other valuables, indicating a pattern of coordinated, repeat offences rather than isolated incidents.
