Wennappuwa Police are investigating to apprehend two suspects who had
defrauded a woman resident in Bolawatte, Waikkal by selling two fake
gems to her in exchange for her gold jewellery worth Rs 351,000.
This follows a complaint lodged by Shirley Berlin Alexandra (46),
that she parted with her jewellery to two persons to purchase two stones
said to be valuable gems from them and in getting them tested by a
person engaged in the gem trade they were identified as coloured pieces
of plastic.
Police are investigating whether the suspects were involved in
earlier thefts too. |
