Gangsters Raid Gold Mine, Take Off With Property Worth Millions in Rarieda

RARIEDA - Armed gangsters raided a gold mining firm in Rarieda Sub-county and took off with equipment worth millions of shillings. The Tuesday morning incident, which occurred in North Ramba sub location in Central Asembo location, saw watchmen guarding the Amlight Resources Company limited, whose activities at the site were ordered closed by the courts, flee for dear lives when the mean looking gangsters over powered them after knocking down a section of the wall. According to the director of Amlight resources, Amos Barasa Mabonga, this was the fifth attack on his premises this year. Police have not made any arrests despite suspects being positively identified. the fact that no action was taken against the suspects in both cases has emboldened perpetrators of crime against his workers and property to launch similar attacks whenever they feel like. Amlight Resources worker, Charles Otieno Onyango accused local security personnel and other government officials of working in cahoots with a rival gold mining company operating in the area to frustrate Amlight.
