In Dehiwela Mt. Lavinia area daily robberies are common place . It has become Chicago of Sri Lanka. Police say its the Kuddha's released on Independence day giving the works and high cost of living.

One was caught going on a nissan cefiro with tinted glass cleaning up houses of electrical appliances and fellow was a defeated provincial councillor with a debt of 40 lakhs robbing the masses to survive !!!
