Sri Lanka’s Customs Department on Monday seized three industrial grinding machines packed with heroin in one of the largest hauls detected in the country, news agency Adaderana reported.
The industrial grinding machines had arrived in the country from Karachi, Pakistan, Customs Department sources were quoted as saying.
The consignment was seized in Orugodawatta, near Colombo and one suspect has been arrested in this connection. The total weight and value of the heroin haul is yet to be estimated while customs officials are currently dismantling the machines.
