People in the Armor Street, Colombo yesterday (08) have robbed LP gas cylinders from a lorry carrying gas cylinders. About 100 gas cylinders have been looted.

Police dispersed the group and took the lorry to the Police station. Two persons have been arrested in connection with the event.

LITRO Gas stopped issuing domestic LP gas cylinders amid the current shortage of gas in the country and gas will only be released for essential services.
