The apprehension took place at a local hotel within the Warakapola vicinity.
According to information obtained from investigating officers, it has been disclosed that the suspects had chosen to stay in the Warakapola area, likely prompted by the relaunch of the Yukthiya operation. This decision was made as they were en route to Colombo after a brief stay at a Nuwara Eliya hotel.
Among those detained are 10 men, 5 women, and 8 children.
The arrests come as the part of the Yukthiya operation.
