Three persons in possession of a T-56 assault rifle and 46 cartridges have been arrested by Police in Mullaitivu, while they were en route to Batticaloa last Tuesday.

The arrest came when Police acted on an anonymous call leading them to a passenger bus in Oorani that was en route to Batticaloa from Mullaitivu, in which the three suspects were found.

Preliminary investigations have revealed that two of the suspects were rehabilitated ex-LTTE cadres from Thevipuram in the Mullaitivu area, and the third was from Batticaloa.

The arrest was made at 9 p.m. last Tuesday.
