Suspected Criminals Gas Six Homes In Lufwanyama

The Lufwanyama District Commissioner Ms. Miniver Mutesa declared that a group of suspected criminals have gassed six houses in the area.

Ms. Mutesa explained that the criminals took advantage of the criminal activities currently going on in Chingola of gassing residents, after some 130 people were affected last week. She disclosed that the criminals were targeting single women-headed homes by spraying them with unknown chemicals.

“These thieves are taking advantage of what is happening with our neighbours. They are usually attacking when the rains finish and single women-headed homes have been attacked,” Ms. Mutesa said.

The thieves were said to be stealing property in a number of the houses they attacked. Mutesa said the victims who had been attacked have since been discharged from hospital and police were continuing their investigations into the crimes.
