Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>Suspected armed robbers were Monday night forced to abandon an AK47 as they fled from a mob that had mobilized against them with stones at Bumburi East Village in Bugembe Ward in Jinja North City Division.<\/p>\n

The suspected robbers who were reportedly driving in a Toyota Premio had targeted shops in Bugembe town.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen residents saw the armed men putting at gun point one of the traders who deals in cereals and other food grains, they quickly mobilized and started pelting stones at them. They abandoned the gun and ran to their car before they sped off,\u201d the area LC1 chairman, Mr Godfrey Kalulu said.<\/p>\n

The gun was later picked and handed over to police authorities in Bugembe.<\/p>\n

Kiira Police Spokesperson, Mr James Mubi confirmed the incident on Tuesday and said the rifle SAR 12111160 had been recovered with 19 rounds of ammunition.<\/p>\n

\u201cEfforts are being made by the intelligence to carry out aggressive operations to weed out suspected criminals in the area,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
