Minister of Public Security Ananda Wijepala says that Police units have been permitted to conduct raids in any Police Division, if the Police in that area are not taking the necessary action.

Addressing a meeting, Minister Wijepala said that permission has been granted to the Police Special Task Force (STF) and, in some instances, the Colombo Police Division, to conduct raids beyond their jurisdictions. 

“If the OIC in charge of a particular area has failed to act despite getting information, then we have permitted the STF and, in some instances, the Colombo Police Division, to conduct raids in other Police Divisions. Such raids are continuing. There are no obstacles,” he said. 

Minister Ananda Wijepala said that the Police are now allowed to conduct raids in any Police Division at any time. (Newswire)
