Four robbers on motorcycles who attempted to rob a jewellery shop had opened fire injuring four before fleeing in Gelioya, Gampola a short while ago.

The robbers had entered the jewellery shop wearing full face helmets, during which a bystander had video recorded the robbery.

All jeweler shops should be given a weapons license and a 2 security should be available at all times. One should be at the entrance and the other should be just close to the area, maybe in a hotel in front or something.and open fire at these thieves.
