“Due to continued illegal use of military and police stores and other military/police patented designs, a joint operation is ongoing to recover the same from the public. All in possession of such items are encouraged to voluntarily return them,” Byekwaso said on Wednesday.

In the same operation, security forces on Tuesday raided the headquarters of the Bobi Wine led National Unity Platform (NUP) from where they confiscated items including red berets and other t-shirts.
