The Kandy Crimes Investigation Division has seized a BMW valued at over Rs. 60 million and a luxury SUV while concealed at the house of a relative of former minister Rohitha Abeygunawardena in the Aniwatte area, it was reported.
The Police said a team from the Kandy Crimes Investigation Division had found the two concealed vehicles while inspecting the garage at the property. The two cars were seized as no one in the house could make a legal claim regarding the vehicles.
The owner of the house runs a car sale in the Mahayawa area in Kandy and has also served as a high-ranking official at the Sri Lanka Ports Authority under Rohitha Abeygunawardena’s tenure as the Minister of Ports.
The Police suspect that these two vehicles may have been illegally brought out of the port. The two luxury vehicles are to be handed over to the Government Analysts Department. (Newswire)
