The suspect was arrested shortly after the rightful owner reported the alleged theft, said Chief Inspector of Police (CIP) Sylvestre Twajamahoro, the Police spokesperson for the City of Kigali.<\/p>\n
“The motorcycle TVS registration number RC 953T was stolen at about 9p.m, from Kagasa trading centre in Gahanga sector where it was parked.<\/p>\n
The motorcycle was recovered shortly after the Police and Irondo personnel (local night security personnel) intervened, and the suspect arrested as he attempted to flee,” CIP Twajamahoro said.<\/p>\n
He appealed to the public to always be quick to report any theft to facilitate swift response to recover what was stolen and to bring culprits to justice.<\/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 Frw1 million and not more than Frw2 million, community service in a period of six (6) months or only one of these penalties.<\/p>\n
In article 167, the penalty for theft doubles if the offender committed the crime through burglary, climbing or possession of keys other than the owner; the theft is carried out during the night or the theft is carried out by more than one (1) person.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
