By Benson Tumusiime

Police in Kampala has on Friday morning arrested 41 suspects as part of a sting operation aimed at reducing crime on Kampala streets and paving way for a peaceful Christmas festive season.

These activities are a continuation of the ‘Dumisha Usalaama’ Operation which seek to address public concerns of criminal tendencies that involve mugging people, pick pocketing, general thefts, vandalism on streets and in traffic jam, drug abuse in most suburbs and other activities which disorganise and disrupt the smooth running of business in the city.

This operation targets areas of Market Street, Platinum House, Allen Road, Nakivubo Channel, Kinyamwandu and Nabugabo. These areas are commonly identified as the black spots and have always been regarded impassable both during day and night hours.

The suspects have been subjected to screening before responsible citizens, elders and local area leaders.
Most of these suspects were found in most frequented crime spots and in possession of marijuana.
