Authorities in Tangalle have discovered a large stock of illegal drugs, including over 200 kilograms of crystal methamphetamine (‘Ice’) and heroin.
The discovery was made this morning (22) when police found two dead bodies inside an abandoned house under renovation in Seenimodara. A lorry parked on the premises contained a massive quantity of narcotics.
Earlier, police had recovered 10 packets of ‘Ice’ from a smaller lorry near the same house. A thorough search later led to the seizure of the larger stock of drugs.
Senior Deputy Inspector General of Police (SDIG) for the Southern Province, Kitsiri Jayalath, said most of the narcotics were hidden in the larger lorry.
Police also found four modern firearms inside the vehicle, suggesting possible links to organized crime.
