Among the suspects were Robert Ssenjobe, also known as Soda, Elvis Kateraga, also known as Mark, and three additional individuals.
Upon their arrest, the suspects were discovered with a range of stolen items, including a television and a smartphone, alongside dangerous weapons like machetes and tools used for breaking into houses.
Two of the suspects were apprehended at the scene of the crime.
