Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>Police in Mukono District are investigating a case of aggravated robbery after gunmen raided Spice Supermarket and made away with unspecified amount of money.<\/p>\n

The June 24 robbery also left a cashier shot and injured, according to Kampala Metropolitan Police deputy spokesperson, ASP Luke Owoyesigyire.
\n\u201cThe incident happened at about 11:34 pm when three robbers armed with an AK47 attacked the super market located in Mulago cell, Ntawo Ward in Mukono Municipality. The robbers made away with unspecified amount of money after shooting Irene Sekandi, the cashier in back,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

According to police, first responders rushed Sekandi to Namirembe hospital Mukono for first aid and she was later transferred to Nsambya hospital for better treatment.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe police responded to the scene and have subsequently recorded statements from eyewitnesses. We have also noted that the thugs knew the routine at the supermarket as they attacked when the security guard was aiding customers put their bought merchandise into vehicles and he only got to pick up his gun after the incident. This means he wasn\u2019t armed and this of course calls for strict supervision of all deployed guards to make sure they do their job as per the description,\u201d Mr Owoyesigyire added.<\/p>\n

The suspects are still at large as police investigate the incident.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe hunt for the suspects is ongoing and more details will be availed as soon as they are available.\u201d<\/p>\n

CCTV camera captures armed robbers raiding Spice supermarket in Mukono District on June 24. Police said a cashier was shot & injured during the incident that happened at around 11:30pm before the robbers made away with unspecified amount of money.#MonitorUpdates<\/p>\n
