An Indian man was caught attempting to smuggle a large consignment of “Kush” cannabis worth Rs. 105 million through the “Green Channel” at Bandaranaike International Airport (BIA) this morning (05) by airport customs officials.
The suspect is said to be a 43-year-old salesman from New Delhi and had purchased the cannabis from Bangkok, Thailand.
This marks the first arrest made using the new scanning machine installed at the Customs Arrival Terminal’s Green Channel in Katunayake.
The seized cannabis and the suspect are set to be handed over to the Police Narcotics Bureau (PNB) at BIA for further investigation.
