Andrew Mwenda Exposes thief caught on office CCTV cameras
Following the murder of Police, Andrew Kaweesi, The President of Uganda, Yoweri Kaguta Museveni advocated for the installation of CCTV cameras around the country, in major towns. Could CCTV cameras really be a sustainable and feasible move to controlling crime in the country?
A few months back, various videos also made rounds on Social media, of a thief caught on camera, stealing a smart phone from a computer photocopying centre. This exposed the criminal to the rest of the world.
Yesterday, politician, and owner of the tabloid, the Independent magazine posted a video of a petty thief committing a felony caught live on camera, stealing a side mirror off his white car parked outside his office. Watch the video here.
He wrote on his facebook wall:
“This thief thought he was not being recorded. Today he came to my office and stole a side mirror at lunch time. Now all police stations and posts around Kampala looking for him. If you see him, report to the nearest police station. We may discover that cctv cameras can reduce certain crimes around our city”
Do you think that CCTV cameras are a great move to reduce crime in the city? Besides that, if you certainly across that thief, report to the nearest police station.
