Police at Nansana have registered a significant breakthrough in the fight against a wave of robberies targeting bank clients in the area. In a series of well-planned operations carried out between March 10 and March 14, 2026, officers arrested four suspects believed to be behind these crimes. The arrests mark an important step forward in restoring safety and confidence among residents who had grown increasingly worried about the attacks.
According to police reports, the suspects had been targeting people leaving banking halls. They allegedly followed victims and attacked them shortly after they withdrew money, robbing them of cash and other valuables. Some of the incidents reportedly took place around Base Hotel and other busy banking points within Nansana, making the situation even more alarming for the public.
During questioning, the suspects are said to have confessed to taking part in several of these robberies. Investigators revealed that the group used simple but dangerous methods. They were armed with pangas, which they used to threaten and overpower their victims. To escape quickly after the attacks, they relied on boda bodas, allowing them to disappear from the scene before help could arrive.
Preliminary findings suggest that this may not have been a small operation. Police believe the suspects could be part of a larger criminal network. Investigations are still ongoing to identify and arrest other possible accomplices who may still be at large. Authorities are working hard to uncover the full scale of the group’s activities.
Police have also issued a strong warning to the public, especially bank clients. People are advised to stay alert when withdrawing large amounts of money and to consider safer options such as seeking police escort or using secure transport. These measures, they say, can help reduce the risk of falling victim to such attacks.
As investigations continue, more updates are expected. The recent arrests, however, offer hope that justice will be served and that Nansana will become safer for everyone.
