Customs seizes drugs worth over Rs. 67.5 million at Central Mail Exchange

Lankadeepa, Ada Derana and Newswire report that officers from the Narcotics Control Unit of Sri Lanka Customs seized a consignment of narcotics at Colombo’s Central Mail Exchange. The outlets put its value at more than Rs. 67.5 million.

Hiru News reports the drugs were found in 11 parcels sent from abroad. Newswire’s headline describes packages concealed among books, but the available report text does not provide further details about how the items were hidden.

The reports identify the location and the Customs unit involved, but the supplied material does not give the date of the operation, the types or quantities of drugs, or information about suspects or further action.
