Woman lures men online, robbed in jungle: Four arrested

 Four suspects, including a woman who had maintained relationships with several young men through social media, have been arrested for luring victims to jungle areas in Mihinthale, where they were assaulted and robbed.

 

Police said the 31-year-old woman had built online relationships with several men-aged between 21 and 32-from Anuradhapura, Wijayapura, Ashokapura and Kekirawa via Facebook and WhatsApp.

 

Investigations were launched after two men filed complaints with the Mahiyangana and Aukana Police.

 

According to the complaints, the woman invited the victims to meet her at locations in Mihintale. Once there, she and a group of accomplices allegedly tied the men to trees, assaulted them, and stole their motorcycles, mobile phones, and other valuables.

 

Mihintale Police have arrested the suspects and recovered stolen items, including two motorcycles and four mobile phones.
