A police sergeant and another suspect were arrested while transporting 25 timber logs in a tipper in the Anuradhapura town, Division Four senior DIG Jayantha Gamage said.

The policeman is attached to the Udanmaluwa police post and was arrested by a special police team after they received a tip off from public about the illegal transportation.

Police rats are in full swing while the IGP cat dozzing off most of the time.
Balasuriya should be replaced as fast as posible to make a decent police force.

Must be on the way to a Minister's house. No wonder our country get all these disasters . Put these fellows in prison for at least 8 years.

Finally, Poice Sergeant will be promoted because he was following orders from someone big.

What can do Balasuriya. He is not authorized to transfer an officer. Beruwela insident is good example.
