Sandalwood tree disappears at dead of night
We often hear of people’s houses getting burgled and thieves getting away with money and jewellery. What is seldom heard of is the stealing of trees planted in home gardens. This was the case in a house located opposite the Netherlands Embassy in Colombo 07, an area with a high measure of security.
In the garden was a highly valued sandalwood tree. A few days ago, when the residents woke up in the morning, they were astonished to find the sandalwood tree had been neatly cut at the base and taken away. Shocked by the incident, the family members had complained to the Cinnamon Gardens Police. The police checked the CCTV cameras in the area and found a vehicle making rounds in the vicinity in the dead of the night. Police are conducting investigations but are yet to make any arrest.
