Daring thieves have stolen the front number plate of a car belonging to vetran journalist David Gusongoirye, and left their contacts for him to pay a ransom.
According to Gusongoirye, the thieves struck last night and left a piece of paper inscribed with the numbers 0702791407 and 0758298210, for him to conact them and pay Shs200, 000 to enable him recover the number plate.
The type of theft exhibited by these daring thugs is a challenge to law enforcement and comes in the wake of the Uganda Communication Commission (UCC) directing that all Simcards be registered in order to curb rising crime.
Just over a month ago kidnappers held Susan Magara for 20 days and killed her after the relatives paid part of the US$1 million ransom demanded.
Also last week, another woman was killed after her relatives had paid a ransom.
