By Anuradha Samuel-January 7, 2014 6
The Police Special Task Force (STF) has uncovered a massive-scale heroin racket inside the Negombo Prison, and named it the country’s largest heroin racket.
The heroin racket is said to have been carried out in the guise of a delivery service, where the heroin was concealed under the caps and various parts of the uniform of the delivery persons.
An STF officer further said the inmates at the Negombo Prison consume 3-4 kg of heroin on a daily basis, and added that a large amount of heroin is also consumed daily at the majority of prisons in Sri Lanka.
The STF officer added there are around 14 areas in and around Negombo where there is massive-scale heroin businesses being carried out, while six of such places are situated in the Negombo Town.
He said these places cannot be raided as they are politically protected.
He added the persons involved in the heroin racket cannot be arrested as they pay money to high-ranking officers in the Police Department, in order to avoid being arrested. (Ceylon Today Online)
