Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>An ambulance was ambushed along the Kapoeta-Narus highway in Eastern Equatoria State and the occupants were robbed of medicines and money on Tuesday according to the local police.<\/p>\n

The acting police commissioner in Kapoeta town, Brigadier General Garang Deng Jorkuch, said the attack happened a few kilometers outside the town and the assailants made off with a carton of assorted medicine and cash after beating the driver and a lone passenger.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe ambulance was attacked between Naknak and Kapoeta. Money was taken, 470,000 SSP and USD 500 plus mobile phones and medicines,\u201d Gen. Jorkuch said. \u201cThe driver is called Simon Lorik. I think they were taking the medicine to Narus.\u201d<\/p>\n

The police commissioner suspects that the robbery was coordinated by criminals inside Kapoeta town but said there was no active investigation ongoing because the police lacked transport.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is no investigation. The only vehicle we have is grounded, it crushed,\u201d Gen. Jurkuch said. \u201cThese criminals are within the town. When they see a vehicle carrying valuable things like money, they communicate with some of their people in the bush to rob it. They (criminals) are within the town, not outside.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said the police will liaise with their stations in Narus, Ngauro, Torit, and other areas to get more information. Lokwang Peter, an activist working for the Nyakireket Consortium, a peace-building organization in Kapoeta, condemned the robbery and said the perpetrators should be apprehended and taken to a court of law.<\/p>\n

\u201cI request all the parties involved in those wrong activities of looting people on the roads to stop and I strongly condemn them,\u201d Lokwang said. \u201cThese people should be brought to book.\u201d Attempts to contact authorities at the state ministry of health, to which the attacked ambulance belongs, were futile.<\/p>\n
