    If this Happened to a Sri Lankan in here he would have been still behind bars. This May be to show the Brits that we Sri Lankans are a friendly nation even if you are a thief .

    I believe cost for arresting him and producing to the court was higher than this.

    He must be thinking what a strict law in Sri Lanka no escape for even foreigner mind it is only Rs. 10,000

    Calistus, are you sure ? Even locals are released on bail, with offences like this. Do not run down the judiciary without knowing the relevant law.

    Even if you have brown or black skin, political clout overides the colour of your skin.
