The police who carried out investigations subsequently were able to secure evidence that the burglar has opened the door of an almirah in one of the rooms of the upper floor with the aid of a chisel.It is understood that boxes containing  jewellery and wrist watch were stolen.

The police later were able to find the chisel used to open the said door and the empty boxes as well after taking possession of its contents of jewellery in an adjoining bare land nearby. When the robbery has taken place Mrs. Hirunika Premachandra, her husband and child had been in the house and had later detected this robbery only when they had woken up in the morning. Athurugiriya police are conducting further investigations into the incident of burglary.
