Four suspects were arrested by the CID for allegedly attempting to sell a four acre land in Millennium City, Athurugiriya by producing a forged deed of Rs 35.2 million, CID said.

The CID arrested the suspects who are residents of Mirigama and Aluthgama early today in Battaramulla by pretending they were serious land buyers. DIG Kulathilaka said that they were involved in a similar business for nearly three years.

He further advised the public to be on alert about their unoccupied land and properties. (SD)
