A foot patrol conducted by the Navy in the Saukkadi, Madagal beach area in Jaffna led to the seizure of about 93kg and 200g (wet weight) of Kerala cannabis valued at over Rs. 27 million yesterday morning. The seizure was made by SLNS Agbo in the Northern Naval Command after searching a shrimp-weir off Saukkadi, during a foot patrol conducted in the beach area.
It is believed that smugglers might have left behind the consignment of Kerala cannabis stuffed in 40 packages in the shrimp-weir, being unable to bring it ashore due to naval operations in the area. The Kerala cannabis stock has been kept in the naval custody until further investigations are completed.
