Sri Lanka, Oct. 6 -- The Crimes Investigation Division of the Bambalapitiya Police has discovered several weapons hidden in an abandoned house near the Kelani Valley railway line, on the Baseline Road in Dematagoda.

Police recovered a locally manufactured 9mm firearm, two live bullets and a T-56 magazine from the location.
