SP Samuel Semewo, the Bukedi North police publicist, reports that some individuals in the wee hours of Monday, June 17, 2024, broke into a grade one magistrate’s office of Pallisa district.
The court is located at Kalaki cell of Pallisa District.
The theft came to light after the court supervisor Mr Martin Mbatya reported the matter to police, having been whispered by the area cleaner, Gabeya Fatima.
“The allegation states that early in the morning of June 17 at Kalaki cell of Pallisa District, Gabeya Fatima, a cleaner at the chief magistrate’s court observed that the chambers of the grade 1 magistrate had been broken into,” Semewo said.
He said police detectives were introduced to the crime scene with canine services as part of ongoing investigations into the crime.
The police canine led police to the residence of 27-year-old electronic technician Swaliki Sulaiman, a resident of Rwata C Cell, Kagwese Ward, Pallisa Town Council in Pallisa District and Tonny Ojok, 18, of the same locality.
“Police processed, examined, and documented the scene. Relevant Statements were picked and put on record and a case file opened with inquiries now on going,” Semewo said before noting that the two suspected were apprehended and detained at Pallisa CPS to help in the investigations.
He said one stolen laptop was recovered in addition to some case files and some hardcopies of written judgements, according to police.
