Police in Mukono are investigating circumstances related to aggravated robbery in which armed thugs shot and wounded a cashier at a Supermarket on Friday 24th June 2022.
Three robbers armed with an AK47 attacked Spice Supermarket located in Mulago cell, Ntawo Ward in Mukono Municipality at around 11:34 pm, shot a one identified as Ssekandi Irene before fleeing with unspecified amount of money.
The victim was rushed to Namirembe hospital Mukono for first aid and she was later transferred to Nsambya hospital where she is currently admitted.
According to the Deputy Kampala Metropolitan Police Spokesperson ASP Luke Owoyesigyire the police rushed to the scene and 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’t armed and this of course calls for strict supervision of all deployed guards to make sure they do their job as per the description.” he said.
The hunt for the suspects is ongoing and more details will be availed as soon as they are available.
