Sri Lanka Police is seeking the assistance of the general public to apprehend two major drug traffickers.

 

Information about the duo was brought to light upon interrogating two other suspects who had been taken into custody by the Police Narcotics Bureau (PNB) over the alleged possession of drug money and smuggling nearly 290 kilograms of heroin into the country via a multi-day trawler in 2021.

 

The aforementioned two drug peddlers are absconding the law enforcement authorities, the police said further.
