“People should work instead of resorting to stealing to survive, which is a criminal act that lead individuals to prison and thus spoiling their lives. Young people must find legitimate work to do rather than resort to robbery for quick cash,” Police Spokesperson for the Central Region, Supt. Modeste Mbabazi, said.
