On the other hand, the civil society of Karisimbi commune has reported that these bandits have also burgled a house belonging to a traffic police officer living in the Mugunga district. These robbery attempts were also reported the same night on 17 January Avenue and Chabindu Avenue.
Some families have decided to move to other neighborhoods, given the rise in crime that is spreading in this region of the province.
For civil society actors, the increase in burglary cases poses a challenge posed by the bandits to the authorities of the state of siege, according to Radio Okapi.
