Detectives have arrested two suspects linked to a violent robbery and recovered an AK-47 rifle believed to have been used in recent unrest across Buuri East, Tigania West, and neighbouring areas.

According to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI), the arrest followed reports of gunfire at Mungania Shopping Centre, where a police officer fired shots in a bold act of self-defence after discovering that robbers were in the process of attacking a member of the National Police Reserve (NPR).
