Six suspects, including two females, were arrested for possessing 13 kg of Crystal Methamphetamine (ice) by the officers of the Police Narcotic Bureau (PNB) in Niwandama in the Ja-Ela police area, the police said.
The police spokesman DIG Ajith Rohana said the narcotic substance was seized during the police anti-narcotic operations conducted across the country.
The suspects were brought to the PNB office in Colombo for further probing.
