The seized packages contained approximately 670 kilograms of crystal methamphetamine (ICE), 156 kilograms of heroin, and around 12 kilograms of hashish.
The haul, weighing a total of 839 kilograms, was brought ashore at the Tangalle Fisheries Harbour for further investigation, the Navy said.
Police and Navy teams are conducting a joint probe to determine the origin of the consignment. (Newswire)
