Who, in their right minds, transports that amount of money in a flimsy vehicle like that?
That lock can be opened by anybody with a metal club.

Dude it's supposed to transported and deposited to all the ATM machines, So that's why they use a vehicle like that... :)

This looks like a bye road. Why on earth, they were going on such aroad. In a busy place like Peliyagoda can the robbers take them on a bye road forcibly. There is something fishy here.

Whether it is a by road or not, their are over four major check points on all corners of this point, that is the crux of the issue.

Prefect political material. No doubt the next election the robber will be an MP.
