The suspects aged 28 and 23, were intercepted at about 04a.m, in Rugobagoba village, Kigembe cell of Gacurabwenge with a bag containing the stolen money.<\/p>\n

“The victim withdrew money from the bank earlier on Saturday, September 16, to pay casual workers, who were constructing his house in Kigembe cell.<\/p>\n
The search for the suspects was immediately commenced after the victim reported the alleged theft, until they were arrested the following morning on Sunday at about 04a.m, with the money,” SP Habiyaremye said.<\/p>\n
The suspects were at the time fleeing with the money. They were handed over to RIB at Gacurabwenge station for further investigations.<\/p>\n
