Jean De la Croix Rukundo, 24, was arrested in Nyamata bus-park with a television screen, decoder and other accessories as well as money amounting to Rwf96,000, which he allegedly stole from his employer, Jean Damascene Rugumire of Gashora, where he was working as a house-help, since last year.<\/p>\n
The Police spokesperson for the Eastern region, Superintendent of Police (SP) Hamdun Twizeyimana said the suspect was reported by suspicious people at the bus park in Nyamata town.<\/p>\n
“People at the bus park got suspicious and called the Police when they saw Rukundo with a TV screen, decoder and other accessories, which they suspected to be stolen,” SP Twizeyimana said.<\/p>\n
He added: “After his arrest, Rukundo revealed that he stole them from the home of one Jean Damascene Rugumire of Gashora, where he was working.<\/p>\n
The victim was informed but he (Rugumire) also disclosed that the suspect had also stolen money amounting to Rwf96,000, which was also recovered from Rukundo.”<\/p>\n
Rukundo was handed over to RIB at Nyamata station for further investigations.<\/p>\n
SP Twizeyimana thanked the people, who provided information leading to the arrest of the suspect and recovery of stolen items.<\/p>\n
\u201cQuick sharing of information when a crime is committed or reporting anything suspicious helps in timely response and recovery of stolen items as well as arrest of suspects,” he advised.<\/p>\n
Article 166 of law determining offences and penalties in general states that; any person convicted of theft is liable to imprisonment for a term of not less than one (1) year and not more than two (2) years and a fine of not less than Rwf1 million and not more than Rwf2 million, community service in a period of six (6) months or only one of these penalties.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
