The Cinnamon Garden Police informed Court that charges had been filed against the suspects under the firearms ordinance.

The suspects were arrested for stealing gold jewellery valued at Rs.550,000 and a lightning conductor that remained under the purview of a stenographer of the Western Provincial Council (WPC) Member, Royce Fernando.

    " belonging to WPC member : --- by present standards ---probably the "WPC member" being the party affected , would have been the catalyst for the arrest - what ever the case may be - hope it will not take 27 years (like the Kandy case reported today) for the wheels of justice to grind.
