Three unidentified men on motorbikes pretending to be Special Task Force (STF) personnel are reported to have robbed Rs.1.2 million from a businessman in Weligama yesterday, Police said.

They said the 49-year-old businessman was robbed at a lonely spot while on his way home.

The fake STF personnel had told the businessman they had come to check him after receiving a tip-off that he possessed narcotics.

They had later fled the scene of the crime with the cash. (Krishan Jeewaka Jayaruk)

Looks put up job. How did they know he had money and why was he alone carrying so much cash.

These days groups of 3 to 4 men from the water board try to enter houses saying the water meter needs to be changed. They are legitimate but crude and don't carry a letter or ID from the board. Pretending theives could do the same deceiving people.
