COLOMBO (News1st); The Criminal Investigation Department (CID) has arrested two suspects linked to drug trafficking during a special operation in the Kegalle area.

The arrests were made following an investigation triggered by a complaint from the Central Bank of Sri Lanka, which flagged suspicious financial transactions in the suspects’ bank accounts. 

During the raid, police seized a van, a small lorry, and a three-wheeler, allegedly used in the drug network’s activities.

The vehicles are now in police custody as part of the ongoing probe.
