Police have arrested five young motorcyclists for riding without helmets and in a reckless manner on by‑roads near Almarjani School in the Sammanthurai Police Division on July 31.
According to the Police, investigations began after video footage surfaced showing the suspects riding motorcycles in a way that harassed children arriving for tuition classes that evening. Using the footage, police identified the motorcycles and made arrests.
In addition, eight motorcycles linked to the incident were traced and seized over the past three days. The suspects, aged 19 to 21, are residents of the same area.
Police said the five suspects, along with the seized motorcycles, were produced before the Magistrate’s Court today (03). Further investigations are underway to enforce the law against all identified riders involved in the incident. (Newswire)
