Police Media Spokesman Superintendent of Police Prishantha Jayakody said Kalpitiya police seized the largest-ever stock of heroin that weighed 40.8 kilograms.
According to the police spokesman, the police conducted the raid following the information received from interrogating a suspect who was recently arrested for drug trafficking.
