Over 100 kilos of illegal narcotics seized by the Police Narcotics Bureau (PNB) are set to be destroyed today (Dec 14) on the orders of the Colombo High Court.
The Police said that PNB officials had seized 107 kilos of heroin and 1.104 kilos of drugs suspected to be heroin from nine suspects.
In October this year, the Colombo High Court sentenced the suspects to lifetime imprisonment, after they had pleaded guilty.
The court had also issued an order to destroy the seized drugs at the Insee Cement Company in Puttalam today.
The Police Special Task Force (STF) has also been deployed to ensure the safe transfer of the contraband and security at the location. (NewsWire/ Image- file pic)
