Sri Lanka: A senior official of the Department of Archaeology said that it would be difficult to get specific information about the exact number of antiques that have gone missing.
Over 1,000 precious artefacts, including rare antiques of high values, have reportedly been stolen from Sri Lanka’s Presidential Palace and Prime Minister’s official residence at Temple Trees after the protesters had raided these premises earlier this month.
Colombo Page news outlet, quoting police sources, said that special investigation teams have been formed to trace the rare artefacts that have gone missing.
However, even before they could begin the investigation, the probe officers have already hit a roadblock.
More than 1,000 valuable artefacts, including items of vintage and antique value have reportedly gone missing from Sri Lanka's Presidential Palace and Prime Minister's official residence, Sri Lanka police said.
