Enderamulla Police hand over road to robber gangs

Enderamulla Police Officers, failing to control robberies in the area around Jude Mawatha have come up with a strange notice. They have warned the people not to use that road between 11.00 p.m. and 5.00 a.m. The Police officers have put up banners at the entrance of the road saying that gangs are stopping and robbing three wheeler drivers and passengers at night. Three wheel drivers using the road said some of them were beaten up and their day’s earnings robbed by a gang which took over the road at night.

They said some victims were even dragged underneath the Enderamulla bridge and left there while their earnings and three-wheelers were robbed. The drivers said they were surprised by the Police officers move, instead of making the road safer for the people by apprehending the gangs.
