The money was recovered from two people, who were arrested in Rwagwa village, Cyabajwa Cell in Kabarondo sector.<\/p>\n

The recovered money is part of Rwf1, 445, 000, which was stolen the previous day from a home in Rwinyinya Sector, Nyagatare District.<\/p>\n

One of the suspects, a 20-year old, was a house-help for the victim. He allegedly fled after stealing the money. The second suspect is a man, who allegedly helped him in orchestrating the plan and to go into hiding in Kabarondo.<\/p>\n

Superintendent of Police (SP) Hamdun Twizeyimana, the Police spokesperson for the Eastern region, said that the suspects were arrested due to the information provided by the victim.<\/p>\n

“The victim immediately reported the alleged theft at Nyagatare Police station when he found the money missing from the bedroom. He suspected his house-help, who was nowhere to be seen, to be the thief,” SP Twizeyimana said.<\/p>\n

He added that the duo was arrested at about 02:00 a.m. as they came from a bar in Rwagwa village, Kabarondo sector.<\/p>\n

“At the time of their arrest, they were found with only Rwf1,266,000. The prime suspect had used about Rwf700, 000 to buy a smartphone, bag, shoes and spent others at the bar,” SP Twizeyimana explained.<\/p>\n

The prime suspect said that he had planned with his accomplice to start a joint business. They were handed over to RIB at Kigabiro station for further investigations .<\/p>\n

Article 166 of Law N\u00ba 68\/2018 of 30\/08\/2018 determining offences and penalties in general, stipulates that any person convicted of theft is liable to imprisonment for a term of not less than one year and not more than two years and a fine of not less than Rwf1 million and not more than Rwf2 million, community service in a period of six months or only one of these penalties.<\/p>\n

Article 167 of the same law says that; 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 in an occupied house or a building used for habitation or in its surroundings.<\/p>\n
