The vehicle, Toyota Hilux RAD 698C belonging to one Dr. William Agaba, was reported stolen on July 17, from a parking lot at MTN service centre in Nyabugogo.<\/p>\n
The RNP spokesperson, Commissioner of Police (CP) John Bosco Kabera, said that the search for the vehicle was activated after the victim reported the alleged car theft.<\/p>\n
“Police first recovered the engine of the vehicle on July 23, in Gisenyi town, Rubavu District where the suspect in custody was looking for a buyer.<\/p>\n
The other part of the car without an engine was later recovered in Kacyiru sector, Gasabo District,” CP Kabera said.<\/p>\n
Investigations indicate that the suspect, a mechanic in Gatsata, hatched a plan in May, when he forged the car key as he was repairing it at a garage in Gatsata.<\/p>\n
CP Kabera warned against such criminal acts and thanked members of the public, who helped the Police in successful investigations.<\/p>\n
The victim, Dr. Agaba, thanked the Police for the swift response to recover his vehicle.<\/p>\n
“I am grateful for efforts that Rwanda National Police deployed to successfully recover my car and to arrest the suspect,” he said.<\/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
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":"
