The Mattegoda Police has arrested six suspects involved in the robbery of a vehicle on the guise of taking it on a test drive recently.
The suspects were arrested along with the vehicle worth nearly Rs. 6 million.
The group is aged between 20- 40 and are residents of Dankotuwa, Koswatte in Wennappuwa.
Three suspects were reported to have thrown out the owner of the vehicle during a test drive this week, after they had approached the latter as possible buyers upon seeing the advertisement on a popular website.
The vehicle was concealed at a house in Wennappuwa following the incident.
It was found after the vehicle was resold for nearly Rs. 1.2 million.
The Police had recovered Rs.733,000 from the sale, a Rambo knife, the vehicle used by the suspects, the stolen vehicle, seven mobile phones, and three fake license plates. (NewsWire)
