A stock of the illegal drug Methamphetamine commonly called Ice with a street value of more than Rs. 10 million, was seized by the Navy during a search operation in the sea off Delft in the early hours of last morning.
The Navy had given chase and checked a suspicious boat to find the stock of contraband hidden under fishing gear. A senior Navy official said suspects engaging in the contraband trade had attempted to smuggle the stock of Ice from India under the pretext of fishing. The suspects were between 23 and 36 years of age and residents of Mannar and Pooneryn.
They were handed over to the Delft Police for further action.
