Police Narcotics Bureau (PNB) officials said a statement from actress Angela Senerviratne would be recorded after verifying details regarding the arrest of a Britisher who came to the Central Mail Exchange with a letter said to be from her to collect a parcel allegedly containing Hashish.

Police Headquarters said PNB and Customs officials were conducting a joint operation to arrest the British accomplice who escaped.

The parcel was addressed to the actress at a Kollupitiya residence where she was living some time ago.

The detectives had visited the address in Kollupitiya but found the place empty.  Police Investigations had revealed that following the detection, two other British nationals and two Sri Lankans had visited the house and left taking some clothes and other items.

    There is no smoke without a fire they say. Also she claims to have lived there 10 yrs ago. If she is not involved in this incident all she has to is to wait till she is questioned by the relevant authority. The place sounds more like a boarding house with all types of johnnies going in and out. How did a British national know her name if she lived there 10 yrs ago? The whole episode stinks eh?
