KAMPALA (Reuters) - Ugandan police dogs on the trail of a thief sniffed out an unlikely suspect -- a born-again preacher -- who was promptly arrested for robbing a remote village shop, a state-owned newspaper reported on Saturday.
Curious onlookers gathered as detectives released the dogs following a break-in at Igwaya village, in central Uganda.
The shocked residents watched as the dogs raced to a nearby shop owned by Pastor Livingstone Isanga, head of the local Redeemed Christian Church.
Hidden behind the counter were the stolen goods -- mostly bags of sugar and packets of bicycle spokes, New Vision said.
Local police chief Bruhan Mugido said the preacher would be prosecuted as soon as investigations were complete.
Take care,
Gordon.
