Well, this year 2025 has begun in style after a few individuals fearlessly planned a "money heist" episode on a Stanbic Bank branch located at Acacia Mall.
A thief surely has 39 days and will end up caught on the 40th day. On a fine day like today, five gentlemen decided to put their 40 days to test after they pulled up at Stanbic Bank, located at Acacia Mall in the sight of various people and bravely advanced towards their goal, the money.
According to a report passed across by the Uganda Police, four out of five gentlemen have been indefinitely neutralized while one is in critical condition, fighting for his life.
Police further informed the public that whereas the five have been named as suspects, they were already on close watch by the police after they were suspected of being linked to various robbery cases way before.
Uganda Police therefore saw it fit to annihilate these individuals rather than risk the lives of many innocent citizens.
"POLICE FOIL BANK ROBBERY AT ACACIA MALL. Police have thwarted a bank robbery at Acacia Mall, neutralizing four suspects involved in a Stanbic Bank heist. A fifth suspect is in critical condition.These individuals were already on the police watch list and are believed to be linked to a series of robberies. Further details will be provided soon." Uganda Police posted via their X account.
Netizens, upon landing on this post have various reactions. A few netizens have come out to thank the Police for the good work done, stating that security is top most and should be highly valued by any normal Country.
"Commendable work done today @PoliceUg .All gangs of this category should be put out of Action so that our prisons don't get too congested by people who don't want to work." Edmund Tumushabe commented.
"Good work done Police. Anybody defending a thief is a thief too. Neutralize those thieves as much as you." Kakungulu Tadeo stated.
There have also been a few individuals condemning Uganda Police while questioning their professionalism in accordance to the method they used to stop the heist in question.
"Not that I condone theft but have you lost trust in the justice system that now u choose to neutralize them?" DJ Khaleb questioned.
Some netizens have come out to commend the bravery of the fallen soldiers, stating that they were rather bold to have attempted a heist in such a busy location.
"People are brave. Of all places you try an armed robbery at Acacia Mall? With all the guns surrounding Kololo?" Prosper Julian Ahaabwe stated.
