Large Criminal Activity
Island-wide anti‑drug crackdown yields hundreds of arrests
A large‑scale Sri Lanka Police operation targeting drug networks and associated criminal activity has led to hundreds of arrests islandwide in recent days.
Sri Lanka Police have conducted a sweeping islandwide anti‑drug crackdown, leading to the arrest of hundreds of individuals suspected of involvement in organised criminal activity and drug offences. The operation follows an ongoing nationwide programme aimed at eradicating narcotics and dismantling criminal networks. Officers carried out numerous raids and inspections across multiple districts, seizing controlled substances and identifying persons linked to criminal enterprises. The scale of arrests and the broad geographic coverage indicate a significant organised‑crime and drug‑trafficking pattern under investigation.
