The Sri Lanka Navy seized a stock of smuggled cosmetic products during a search operation in the Kiranchi sea area, north of Mannar, on April 16.
The operation was carried out by the Rapid Action Boat Squadron (RABS) of SLNS Buwaneka, under the North Central Naval Command. Navy personnel recovered two suspicious floating parcels, which were found to contain 3,200 sachet shampoo packets, 376 cosmetic creams, 75 soap bars, and several other items.
Authorities suspect the items were abandoned by smugglers in response to increased naval patrols in the region. The seized goods have been handed over to the Jayapuram Police for further legal action. (Newswire)
