The leadership of the police has applauded a Cheetah Security Guard, identified as Odongo Moses, who on 15.03.2024 at around 1 am, foiled an armed robbery, at his guard point of Tonix Forex Bureau at Makonzi zone Bukoto I Parish in Nakawa Division.
The guard was brave and alert on duty, when he fired two shots at two thugs who were vandalizing a Pajero motor vehicle under registration number, UBK 519C, in front of his beat.
They fled the scene on their getaway motorcycle.
The thugs returned with a second accomplice who was armed with an AK 47 riffle, hidden in a bag and tried to break into Tonix Forex Bureau.
The guard opened fire at them and injured the rider and the second suspect with a bag, containing the gun.
The 3rd suspect fled from the scene. A police team responded swiftly and recovered an AK 47 riffle, with 8 rounds, breaking implements and the motorcycle, Bajaj Boxer, which were all exhibited at Kira Road CPS.
