Personnel of the Sri Lanka Navy have uncovered a large quantity of narcotics aboard a local multi-day fishing trawler intercepted in deep waters off the southern coast of Sri Lanka on the night of March 7.
Following the interception, the vessel along with the suspects on board was escorted to Dikkowita Harbour for further inspection. During examinations carried out at the harbour, officials confirmed that several sacks discovered on the trawler contained more than 102 kilograms of heroin.
In addition to the heroin haul, naval officers and investigators also recovered approximately 900 grams of cocaine from the boat.
Authorities are continuing investigations into the incident while legal action against those involved is expected to follow.
