The introduction of a forensic mobile laboratory aimed at expediting crime investigations was held today with the participation of Acting Inspector General of Police Deshabandu Thennakoon.

Police said the primary objective of this mobile laboratory is to enhance the services provided by the Criminal Investigation Department.

Acting IGP Thennakoon said that deploying this mobile unit to locations where serious crimes occur in Sri Lanka will accelerate the investigative processes. 

This mobile facility ensures that the services offered by the Criminal Investigation Department's main office in Colombo can be efficiently executed at the crime scene.

"This will positively impact crime-solving activities. The mobile forensic laboratory is expected to play a crucial role in investigating organized murders, robberies, heinous crimes, major computer offenses, and financial frauds," he said.
