A special team of police on Friday night seized 200 kg of ganja stocked in a cracker shop and arrested two persons from Madurai in this connection.
Police said that the team intercepted a car on Virudhunagar - Sivakasi highway and found five packets of ganja being smuggled by two persons identified as D. Sivasamy, 31, and D. Sathishkumar, 22, - both from Madurai.
Upon interrogation, the duo spilled the beans that they had taken the five packets of contraband that had been hoarded in a fireworks shop at Veerachellaiahpuram on the Sivakasi highway.
The police team raided the shop that had been taken on lease by Sivasamy from one Jothiraja a year back. The team found 89 more packets of ganja weighing 204 kg.
