    Nothing will happen to the robbers as they will be somehow connected to people in power. This is the end of the story!!!!

    put them in jail and after serving the sentence bring them into the parliament. they really deserve that place.

    One of the main barrier in developing our country is the level of honesty & intergrity of people. Everyone should inculcate proper values & attitudes, from the top to downwards. For this purpose a genuine commitment from the top is mandatory. It can be implemented not from words only by action. Badly needed to activate not only the commission of Bribery & Corruption, all the other Law enforcement authorities with full powers & autonomy. Eradication of Political influence & intimidation is a must. Law should be the supreme of the country by Action.

    "For this purpose a genuine commitment from the top is mandatory." I disagree: the commitment comes from the bottom up, starting with mothers and fathers and the Sunday schools and the everyday schools. Telling lies, cheating and stealing are every-day commonplace acts. And, the cynical comments of people who say they should be sent to the parliament or be appointed ministers is a perfect example of the source of this problem!

    How can our national projects prosper when we are keen in making money for ourselves from each project. There are so many more similar stories in almost all state sectors.

    Excellent work by the Police.
    These detection personell must be well rewarded.

    arasoysa/nandasena/jayawardene..... criticism is one thing, intimidation & sarcasm in yours comments provide a poor reflection of yourselves.
    You are the kind of people SL can do without. please go looking for greener pastures.

    AMILA.G.... Spill it out the beans. police must begin at somepoint.
