An individual, who attempted to smuggle 511 kgs of red sandalwood into the country from India via sea, was arrested by the Navy today.
The suspect was arrested on receipt of intelligence information to the Navy.
The Navy said the search operation was carried out in the Anawasala area in Kalpitiya and the racketeer was nabbed along with the dinghy used for the transportation of the high – valued red sandalwood stock.
The suspect and the stock of red sandalwood were handed over to the Sri Lanka Customs Sub-Preventive Office in Sinnapadu for legal action.

These are the big deals for Local Authorities because they can't catch any politically strong "Bigshots" involved in huge rackets. This guy must be a poor man looking for selling these Redwood for perfume makers.
