In a first such incident, the Brahmapur police seized 12 grams of brown sugar and arrested two persons from Nuakhajuria here recently.
The two miscreants carrying the contraband were on their way from Bhubaneswar Salia Sahi to Brahmapur when the Goshani Nuagaon police nabbed them. Earlier, the police had got hints about them.
The arrested were identified as Budu Dash (40) of Bhaligada and Ranjan Sahu (23) of Soraca Junction. The cost of seized brown sugar would be over a lakh of rupees. The police have also seized their bike.
Brahmapur SP Pinak Mishra said the two were being interrogated to know their contraband sale network in the district.
