Police have launched a manhunt for a group of

and US$ 4000 in Kampala.
The Deputy Kampala Metropolitan Police Spokesperson,
Luke Owoyesigyire identifies the robbery victim as Lu- Zincing, a cashier at
Omega Online limited and resident of Mukwano mall in Kampala.
Zincing was reportedly attacked on Wednesday evening
on his way from work place in Bugolobi city suburbs.
Omega Online limited sells building materials and hardware products.
In his statement to police, Zincing claims that
he was riding on a motorcycle when a group of people riding on a motorcycle
surrounded him and started assaulting him.
They reportedly vanished with all the money he
was carrying from his workplace.
Police suspects that the same group raided China
Railway Company in Bugolobi over the weekend and made off with an unspecified
amount of money.
Owoyesigyire says Police have since retrieved CCTV footage relating to both incidents to help identify the number plates
of the motorbikes the suspects used in the robbery.
