Four men have been arrested by the STF for hoarding 18,800 litres of diesel in Hambantota.
STF said the raid took place near the Hambantota fisheries harbour when the large stock of diesel was being transported to the Wellawaya area in two lories including a lorry transporting fish from the harbour.
The value of the seized diesel stock was over Rs. 8 million.
The suspects were handed over to the Hambantota Police.(DSB)

Well done the STF, keep up the good work

God only knows how many such cases go undetected ? There would be many others involved in the crime other than the four arrested ?

Under what law were the people arrested? There is no law in Sri Lanka that prohibits buying and storing as much diesel as you want. There are only laws to sell goods above the maximum selling price set by the government, which most traders don't bother with either.

Anyone can keep stocks of fuel. As I know the law applies only when they try to sell without license.

STF should be positioned at the Filling station next to the entrance to St. Anne’s church in Wattala. No 250, Negombo Road. They are cheating and also selling diesel in cans with impunity. Fist fights are a daily occurrence.
