A customer was injured when four armed men opened fire inside a state-owned bank at Parawahera in Gandara, Matara this evening, police said.

They said the 60-yeat-old victim suffered gunshot injuries to her leg from a bullet that ricocheted off the floor and was admitted to the Matara General Hospital.

The men had arrived on two motorbikes wearing full-face helmets and according to the police had escaped with more than Rs.300,000.

Gandara police said none of the suspects were arrested but that they were conducting investigations. (Chaturanga Samarawickrama)
