Four people have been arrested in Jaffna following the discovery of a large stock of prescription medicines that were allegedly being sold without authorization.
The arrests were made during a joint operation conducted by the Sri Lanka Navy and the Jaffna Police Special Task Force. The raids took place at the Jaffna Central Bus Stand and in the Nayanmarkattu area of Kayts Island.
During the operation, officers seized 860 prescription drugs believed to have been intended for illegal sale. A motorcycle suspected to have been used in the activity was also taken into custody.
The suspects, aged between 22 and 29, are residents of several areas in Jaffna, including Ottamadam, Sankani, Nallur and Koiyathodimum, the Navy stated.
All four individuals, along with the seized medicines and the motorcycle, have been handed over to the Jaffna Police Station to continue investigations and initiate legal action.
