Four bowsers with more than 17,000 litres of fuel, parked inside the premises of a vehicle service centre at Bopitiya in Pamunugama were taken into the custody today, police said.
They said these bowsers were owned by an individual who operate two licensed petrol stations in Wattala and Negombo areas.
The fuel bowsers were found following a tip off received by the Pamunugama Police.
Police said the licenses of fuel stations were cancelled.
Two bowsers containing diesel, the other with petrol and another carrying kerosene were among the siezed.
The fuel levels of these vehicles were measured by a local administrative officer of the Ceylon Petroleum Corporation and accordingly there were 8,800 liters of diesel, 4,000 liters of petrol and 5,000 liters of kerosene.
The case will be filed in the Welisara Magistrate's Court tomorrow and the suspect has been summoned to appear in court on that day, police said. (Darshana Sanjeewa Balasuriya)

Possibly this is an eye wash, just done by the government to fool the people, for the scarcity of fuel. Pls don't try to fool us.

Nothing will happen to them as these may be the stooges of a powerful politician and they get free. Look at what that idiot Sanath Nishantha doing in Negombo area. Have Police arrested him?

See, there are more storage areas like that. Otherwise why all these people who can't even buy a piece of bread are waiting in the queue with huge cans? There is a big black market foe fuel. President should arrest all these hoarders.

Always looking for scapegoats are you? Yes the people always have money and they are hoarding and putting the poor president into trouble. Please stop it.

This is the work of Rajapaksa’s. Tell them they already robbed a lot from the people. Enough is enough. Go home.

Ultimately they would say this is the work of enemies of Govt. to discredit them
