A gang of suspected thugs operating in Eastern parts of the country raided two police posts and took three guns.
Two of the guns were grabbed from police officers at the Anti-Stock theft Unit (ASTU) camp in Mulungwa Village, Benet Sub-county in Kween District, on April 26.
One of the suspects allegedly reported his colleagues to one of the detectives after the attack, leading to the arrest of five suspects and the recovery of three AK-47 guns.
A team of detectives from Sebei Sub-region arrested the first suspect, who had reported a colleague and upon interrogation, the detectives established that he was part of a criminal gang that attacked the two police posts.
Mr Fred Mark Chesang, the police spokesperson for Sipi region, yesterday confirmed the arrest of the suspects and recovery of the guns.
