More than 1,000 items with archaeological value are reportedly missing from the state premises such as President's House and Temple Trees which were taken over by the protesters.
Police sources said special investigations have been launched to recover those items.
Investigating officers have received information that some people had stolen certain parts of valuable artefacts in those premises.
It was also reported that the Archaeological Department does not have official records of the artefacts in the President's House though it was gazetted as a place of archaeological importance.
However, initial investigations revealed that at least 1000 items of value had been stolen.
It is also learnt that records of artefacts in the President's House had not been maintained properly owing to restricted access to the President's House which is situated in a high security area. (Sujith Hewajulige)

System change. If you give them the country, they will loot every single rupees of government and other rich people.

Also Gota would have taken some of the artefacts with him to Singapore to maintain his financial security as he has become a “stateless person” overnight.

How can it be that antiques belonging to the state are not listed and it is unknown to which office they were loaned. It seems to me like in the Nazi era in Germany, where Hermann Goering had amassed immeasurable art treasures.

Better ask the Rajapaksa mafia clan what all was on the Sri Lankan flight to Uganda.
Sankaran Saturday, 23 July 2022 02:26 PM
They should have been kept in the archaeological department. Already Gone to Uganda?
Dillan Saturday, 23 July 2022 02:39 PM
Only 999 items I think . The missing one is underwear if the king

Theft must not be condoned whether it be by protestors or politicians. All must be investigated
Ram Saturday, 23 July 2022 02:46 PM
Theft is theft whether it is from state buildings or the Big State Bank. Please prosecute all

Can it be some were taken during previous administrations too

How about investigating the Central Bank robbery, people who are responsible for the present economic disaster in the country? Why always investigate crimes committed by poor people? What do people think? Is this fair?
Mahinda Saturday, 23 July 2022 03:14 PM
Dont look futher thna the rajapaksha clan, you will find much more than those 100 items, perfect way to make them "missing" blame it on the protesters
Din Saturday, 23 July 2022 03:22 PM
If there's no proper records then how do you know they were stolen, maybe they were never there in the first place!!! Millions of people suffering compared to 1000 items missing. Lets have some perspective here pls

LIERS LIERS LIERS. CHANGING THE DIRECTION AFTER HOW MANY DAYS. NOW YOU CANNOT FOOL THE PEOPLE

Our brave Rana Viras plundered valuable items from Temples and homes in the North and sold it to antique shops and traders who sold them on pavements in Pettah. I have in my possession a temple bell and several artefacts stolen in the North which I purchased in the South

Surely the value of these must be a fraction of the loot RW is protecting for MR.
Simipn Cooray Saturday, 23 July 2022 04:27 PM
If the Arcelogical Dept was prevented from surveying and monitoring these items the question arises too whether the presidents took some of these artefacts themselves when they had to vacate the premises after losing an election or their term of office ending.

Why blame people for a mismanaged property
kudson Saturday, 23 July 2022 05:08 PM
what a load of bull they must be in the houses of the ministers
TONY Saturday, 23 July 2022 05:18 PM
DONT SUSPECT PROTESTORS ONLY. IT COULD HAVE BEEN PAST PRESIDENTS WHO TOOK THEM WHEN VAVATING
