Those arrested include one Eddie Bertin Munyaneza, the prime suspect, who allegedly stole the two laptops after he masqueraded as a participant at the Africa Protected Areas Congress (APAC) last month held at Radisson Blu hotel, and on August 12, during the Kigali Global Dialogue at Marriott Hotel.<\/p>\n

RNP spokesperson, Commissioner of Police (CP) John Bosco Kabera said that other accomplices include one Ndutiye Maurien Theophile, an employee of a local events management company, which was working at the conferences, who facilitated Munyaneza to secure a badge to access the conference venues.<\/p>\n

Two others suspects are dealers in used electronics, who bought the stolen laptops from Munyaneza.<\/p>\n

“The first laptop was stolen on July 18, at Radisson Blu Hotel while the second laptop was stolen on August 12, from a delegate who was attending the Kigali Global Dialogue at Marriott Hotel.<\/p>\n

Munyaneza was the first to be arrested on Sunday, August 14, in Kicukiro District, Nyarugunga Sector, Kamashashi Village after Police thoroughly reviewed CCTV footages at both hotels,” CP Kabera said.<\/p>\n

He added that Munyaneza disclosed his accomplices, including Ndutiye, who secured a badge for him, one Gihozo Jules, who bought the two laptops from Munyaneza for Rwf340,000, and Niyigena Jean de la Paix, who bought one of the laptops from Gihozo.<\/p>\n

“One laptop was recovered from Niyigena while the other was recovered from Gihozo,” CP Kabera explained.<\/p>\n

Munyaneza and Ndutiye are friends, who were last year taken to Nyamagabe rehabilitation centre after they were found to be addicted to heroin.<\/p>\n

“The suspects have been handed over to RIB for further investigations. Apart from Munyaneza, these three others were working or had income generating businesses. <\/p>\n

The young people should seize the available opportunities and engage in productive activities instead of wasting their lives in criminal acts and spending years in prison,” CP Kabera 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

CP Kabera further advised those who trade in used electrical and electronic equipment to comply with the regulations governing their business to fight such criminal acts and to avoid falling prey.<\/p>\n
