Several complaints had been lodged with the Kollupitiya Police claiming that various items and equipment were stolen from the Temple Trees. Police said the staff of the Temple Trees had lodged the complaints. The Media Unit of the Temple Trees also complained that some of their equipment was stolen.  

However, a senior officer of the Kollupitiya Police said they were unable to ascertain what items were stolen from the Temple Trees premises as protesters are still occupying the Temple Trees.  

Police confirmed that a number of items were stolen from the Temple Trees and several properties were also damaged.  

It was also reported that the lack of log entries regarding some items at the Temple Tress has seriously hampered the investigations.  

The Kollupitiya Police are investigating.
