Colombo, Sept. 26 (Daily Mirror) - Thieves have reportedly broken into the auditorium on the sixth floor of the Colombo DIG’s office on Olcott Mawatha, Pettah, and stolen copper wiring from the electrical system.

Despite the building being under 24-hour police security and monitored by CCTV cameras, investigations revealed that the suspects had gained entry by breaking open a door.

It was reported that the stolen copper wires were part of the system supplying power to electrical equipment in the auditorium. The theft is believed to have taken place sometime between August 1 and September 24.

It has also been revealed that the auditorium had not been properly inspected during this period.

A complaint was lodged with the Colombo Central Division Criminal Investigation Bureau in this regard.

Now is n't this a challenge! It makes me laugh, DIGs office auditorium and CCTV etc. Where are the guards and the monitors? It has taken 2-months to realize that the cables were missing. Must be an international conspiracy, right?

Public Security Minister cannot ensure Police Chief's Security so how can he ensure public security? I am sure that those who broke into the office to steal copper are those from their own party. These things never happened before.

Do you expect the Public Security Minister to stand outside the DIGs office? What a joke to say These things never happened before. Not copper wire but everything else in billions, was stolen by the Rajapakse family from all of us.
