Once victims make contact, Kyakonye demands that mobile money is sent first before directing the car owners to the location. According to the assessment by the investigators,these number plates are always hidden 5 metres away from the victims residence.

The suspect confessed that in his dirty profit making venture a fee between Shs50000 to Shs300,000 was charged depending on the type and model of the car.

According to the OC CID Bweyogerere,the suspect has been a habitual offender with a rich history of burglary cases reported at Mukono Police Station when he was 9 years old.
