Maate identified the suspects as Nkuruziza Innocent, Niyigaba Enock, Niringiyimana Julius and Ainebyona Marvin
During searches at the suspects’ residences, authorities recovered several suspected stolen properties, including:
- One set of hoofers

ASP Maate said that several operations have recently been conducted across Kisoro Municipality, resulting in the arrest and prosecution of a number of suspects involved in simple robberies. In many of these cases, victims were attacked along roads or near their homes, with their property stolen and some sustaining injuries.
Police have urged members of the public who may have been victims of such robberies to visit Kisoro Central Police Station to assist in identifying the recovered items and support ongoing investigations.
