Robert Turatunga, Jetset forex bureau security guard, was arrested after the dog led the officers to his home where the company's internet device and the eye glasses were found.

Turatunga reportedly handed over his gun before going home on Tuesday morning.

This was before the forex bureau manager discovered that money was missing from the safe.

Two people, including the security officer, are being detained at Kisoro Police Station as investigations to recover the stolen money continue.

In 2016, the same forex bureau was robbed and thugs made away with about UGX20m
