Fukuoka Prefectural Police arrested five Ugandan nationals, including 57-year-old Siraje Dong, head of Namagoma Trading Company in Miyawaka City, on suspicion of theft and customs law violations after allegedly stealing a medium-sized truck in Iizuka City in July and attempting to export it to Uganda. Investigators linked the group to a string of truck thefts across the prefecture since October last year. Police have confirmed eight similar thefts, seizing one truck and suspecting the group’s involvement in the remaining seven. Authorities have not disclosed whether the suspects have admitted to the allegations. Source: KBC News
