Police have arrested seven people and seized 3,000 litres of illegal liquor in Nyarusange sector of Muhanga district.
Confirming the incident, Valerie Mukamitari, the Executive secretary of Nyarusenge sector, said the suspects were arrested on Sunday.
Mukamitari added that the police had destroyed the equipment used for the brewing exercise and identified the “notorious brewers” who have been in the practice for long each time and serially evading police.
The seizure comes in the wake as Muhanga district declared war on drug and substance abuse, which are blamed for the increased insecurity in various parts of Muhanga district.
Mukamitari said similar raids would be conducted in a bid to curb the illegal practices.
