Two young men who posed as investigating officers of the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) and extorted money from Tamils after threatening and intimidating them were taken into custody by the Bambalapitiya police last evening.

Police Spokesman Prashantha Jayakody said the suspects had threatened the traders with arrest on the charge of supporting the LTTE and had taken away their cash and jewelry. Inquiries revealed that the suspects were residents of Kadawatha and Maradana. (Daily Mirror online)

These are the skunks who give the Sinhalese people a bad name. Tie them to a lamp post in a public place for at least one week.
