Two persons arrested with 275 kilograms of Kerala cannabis in the North Sea

A special operation mounted by the Sri Lanka Navy in the seas off Madagal, Jaffna on Monday (06) has led to the seizure of about 275kg of Kerala cannabis.

 

During further search in the sea area, the Navy managed to recover 07 sacks which contained 110 packages of Kerala cannabis, adrift in seas.

 

Navy said it is believed that the suspects might have thrown these sacks containing Kerala cannabis overboard, failing to bring them ashore, due to naval operations in the area.

 

The suspects, recognized as residents of Madagal, aged 25 and 37, together with the stock of Kerala cannabis and the dinghy were handed over to the Ilavalai Police for onward legal action, the navy said.
