Four suspects, including a foreign national, have been arrested for the possession of cocaine.
The Police said two suspects, aged 24 and 32 years, were arrested with 19 capsules of cocaine during an inspection of a car near the Pinnaduwa exit on the Southern Expressway on Tuesday.
The car travelling from Colombo was inspected by the Akmeemana Police on a tip-off from the Galle Harbour Police.
Investigations conducted by the Police Narcotics Bureau (PNB) have found that a Sierra Leonean in Colpetty had handed over the cocaine to the suspect.
The PNB officials had arrested the 52-year-old Sierra Leonean with 40 capsules of cocaine, USD 500, and other foreign currency in Borella, along with another 28-year-old suspect with 04.700 grams of cocaine.
The Police Narcotics Bureau and Galle Harbour Police are conducting further investigations. (Newswire)
