Screams as masked man armed with knife sneaks into home and heads upstairs, CCTV emerges

Residents of Lubowa Estate are on high alert after a masked man armed with a knife allegedly broke into a family home in the early hours of Monday, June 8.

According to information provided by the affected household, the intruder gained access to the residence unnoticed before being detected by the occupants.

CCTV footage later reviewed by the family reportedly showed the suspect slowly tiptoeing up the staircase while holding a knife.

The family only became aware of the stranger’s presence after hearing suspicious movements downstairs. As they investigated the noise, they discovered an unknown person inside their home.

Alarmed by the intrusion, family members screamed and rushed out of the house to seek safety. The commotion appeared to startle the suspect, who immediately abandoned his plans and fled the scene.

Security camera footage captured the masked man escaping by jumping over the property’s perimeter fence before disappearing into the neighbourhood.

The incident has reignited concerns about residential security in the upscale Lubowa area, a suburb located along the Kampala-Entebbe Road corridor.

Investigations into the incident are ongoing.
