The URA enforcement team had received intelligence reports of smuggled garments that had been conveyed in the suburbs of Nsambya. The smugglers had successfully loaded goods from the Eastern region and hidden them in a home in Nsambya. By this time, they were already visualizing their profits as they drove to the city centre to distribute the goods.
