COLOMBO (News 1st); Sri Lanka Police have uncovered four revolvers hidden inside a lorry intercepted in Tangalle, where authorities had already seized approximately 200 kilograms of crystal methamphetamine (“ice”) and heroin on Monday (22).

The major bust followed an earlier incident the same morning, when police found around 10 kilograms of suspected crystal methamphetamine inside a house in Seenimodara, Tangalle.

That search was prompted by the discovery of two bodies at the residence, while a third individual who had also been present was hospitalized but later passed away.

Investigations revealed that the property had recently changed ownership, with the new owner hiring three workers to construct a boundary wall.

Police reports indicate that the workers held an alcohol party at the house the previous night.

Following the gathering, one worker fell ill and was taken to hospital.

Acting on a tip-off from a relative of the hospitalized individual, police inspected the residence and uncovered the two bodies.
