Police Sergeant injured while trying to arrest suspect stealing vehicle parts
A police sergeant was injured after falling into a disused well while trying to apprehend a suspect in Katunayake this morning.
The sergeant was injured when a team of officers raided a house where a suspect allegedly involved in removing and stealing parts of vehicles was staying in.
The 25-year-old suspect had fled when police raided the location and it was while pursuing him that the officer had fallen into the disused well. However, other officers managed to both rescue their injured colleague and apprehend the suspect.
Police said the suspect had once worked at a garage and had then used the skills learned there to remove parts of motor vehicles such as side mirrors, lights and rim cups from as that were parked on the road.
Katunayaka Police said he had most recently broken into a garage in Andiambalama and removed two side mirrors worth Rs. 300, 000 from a vehicle that had been parked there for repairs.
The suspect is due to be produced before the Minuwangoda Magistrate.
