2 arrested in Trichy with 21kg of gold from Sri Lanka
(Srilankamirror) - Two men have been arrested in Trichy, when they attempted to smuggle about 20kg of gold from Sri Lanka.
In another incident, a 45-year-old woman was taken into custody by the Trichy customs officials while trying to smuggle 1.2kg of gold bars, also from Sri Lanka, TNN reports.
The two cases of attempted gold smuggling from Sri Lanka to Tamil Nadu have prompted the customs officials to review security along the coastline in Nagapattinam, particularly in highly sensitive places like Kodiakadu, Kodiakarai and Velankanni.
