#URAEnforcementAlert  Mutukula 🌍

Smuggling is a very risky venture that can cost those who try their luck in the dirty trade dearly. A smuggler soon found out in Mutukula this week when he noticed a customs enforcement vehicle on his tail from out of no where. 

Instinctively, he stepped on the gas pedal with brute in a bid to put some distance between his Ipsum Reg No.UAM 012A and the Hilux in his hot pursuit. A costly maneuver that saw the vehicle skid off the road making a couple of backflips. 

With the grace of God, the man emerged from the car unscathed and took to his heels in the fashion that would earn him a spot in the Fast and Furious franchise. 

Unfortunately for the car, the story is different and we do pray he had not borrowed it from a friend - "mpaamu katono nkomawo".  

The contraband and the motor vehicle were all taken to the Mutukula station for offence management proceedings to commence. 

Why risk it all to smuggle a couple of bags of Kagera Sugar and Azam wheat flour from Tanzania? 

We beseech every Ugandan to ditch smuggling and trade fairly. It can get lethal in a flash.
