Sri Lanka, April 21 -- Two foreign social media journalists who were trying to smuggle Kush worth Rs. 64 million into the country were arrested by a group of officers of the Katunayake Airport Police Narcotics Bureau in the early hours of yesterday.

The two suspects, a 22-year-old male and 30- year-old female, have been identified as Indonesian social media journalists.

The duo had purchased the Kush from Bangkok in Thailand and taken it to Bangalore in India before arriving at the Katunayake Airport. The Kush, six kilogrammes and 401 grammes in total, had been concealed in their luggage.

The suspects will be produced before the Negombo Magistrate's Court for a detention order to carry out further investigations.
