Sri Lanka Police Seize Over 120 Million Rupees Worth of Methamphetamine in Bandaragama

Sri Lankan police have seized a significant quantity of methamphetamine, valued at approximately 120 million rupees, in Bandaragama. The operation, conducted by the Special Task Force (STF), led to the arrest of one suspect allegedly involved in a major drug trafficking ring.

The STF received a tip and raided a house in the Maswila auction ground area of Bandaragama. During the search, officers discovered 18.672 kilograms of ice methamphetamine, along with two mobile phones and electronic equipment. The suspect was taken into custody.

Further investigations revealed that the arrested individual is reportedly a key figure in the local storage and distribution of drugs for a larger network. This network is said to be connected to Ravishka, a prominent drug trafficker who is reportedly based in Dubai. The operation also uncovered links to another individual known as 'Panadura Kudu Salindu,' a major player in the drug trade.

This seizure represents a substantial blow to drug trafficking operations in the region. Police are continuing their investigations to dismantle the wider network and apprehend other individuals involved in the illicit trade.
