A house in the Botagoda area in Rathgama belonging to Sri Lankan cricketer Lasith Malinga was robbed by a group of thieves. They had only managed to take Rs.2000 from the house.

The incident was reported yesterday. The house was under construction and the suspects had entered the house through a window of a bathroom. They had then entered a room which was completed by removing a sheet in the roof.

The Rathgama police are investigating the incident and have deployed a special team into the area. (D. G. Sugathapala)

"The Rathgama police are investigating the incident and have deployed a special team into the area". Such special treatment only for cricketers, while the police doesn't give two hoots about the common man! My house was broken into last December and my laptop, phone and some jewellery all worth more than Rs 300,000 was robbed and all what the police did was get my complain recorded!

stupid thieves.

I dont believe this news. Sri Lanka is a country where there is no any robberies, rapings, murders. I have heard that even Duminda Silve has been also released from rape case. This kind of news tarnish the image of Sri Lanka.

The thieves may have been looking for the IPL cash.
