The Police have sought public assistance to find a Pakistani national wanted in connection with a large haul of heroin that was found off the coast of Sri Lanka in 2016.
Seventeen suspects were arrested along with 111.82 kilos of heroin during a raid conducted by the Sri Lanka Navy and the Police Narcotics Bureau (PNB) in Sri Lankan waters in April 2016.
Legal action was filed against the suspects, after which the wanted Pakistani national was released on bail in July this year, on bail conditions that he reports to the Police Narcotics Bureau every Sunday.
The Police said the suspect had failed to adhere to the bail conditions, prompting the Police to present facts before the High Court, after which an arrest warrant was issued for him.
The public with information on the suspect has been requested to contact the Police via 071-8591881 or 011-2343333, to assist the POlice in apprehending the wanted man. (Newswire)
