June 29, Colombo (LNW): Officers of the Sri Lanka Customs Narcotics Control Unit have seized cocaine and ‘Kush’ cannabis worth nearly Rs. 190 million during inspections at a courier clearance station in Seeduwa.
A total of 2,030 grams of cocaine and 2,177 grams of ‘Kush’ cannabis were discovered inside several whey protein powder containers within six parcels sent from Canada and the USA to addresses in Colombo and Kadawatha. Investigations revealed these addresses to be fake.
The parcels had aroused suspicion as no one had come forward to collect them for over a month since their arrival. Upon inspection, the narcotics were found.
The confiscated drugs will be handed over to the Police Narcotics Bureau for further investigations.
