COLOMBO – Two female Police Constables attached to the Prime Minister’s Security Division (PMSD) have been praised for their honesty and integrity after returning a lost wallet belonging to a foreign tourist.
According to Police sources, Constable Yamuna Dhammika Kumari Edirisinghe and Constable Samanmali, both serving in Police Division 12093, discovered the wallet on Thimbirigasyaya Road in Narahenpita on October 23.
The wallet was later identified as belonging to Sabrina Cameron, a British national visiting Sri Lanka. Following standard police procedure, the officers immediately reported the discovery to their superiors and took steps to locate the rightful owner.
