A 31-year-old man had been arrested with 50 tear gas cannisters which were stolen from police during protest at Polduwa Junction near Parliament on Wednesday (13).

The Welikada Police has initiated investigation after a group of protesters attacked a three-wheeler belonging to the police that was carrying tear gas cannisters to the Polduwa Junction protest site on July 13 where police and the army were trying to disperse protesters who tried to advance towards parliament.

Police said a group of protesters attacked several policemen who were travelling in the three wheeler and stole tear gas cannisters.

Accordingly, the police on Sunday arrested a suspect at Obeysekarapura and recovered 50 teargas cannisters from his residence in Borella following the questioning.

The suspect was a mason by profession and a resident of Polonnaruwa. (Darshana Sanjeewa Balasuriya)
