Police seized 350 kg of red sanders in Tiruvannamalai
The seized wooden logs were given to the Forest Department
On Tuesday, the Peranamallur police confiscated seven wooden logs of red sanders, each weighing over 350 kg and valued at approximately ₹10 lakh, from a locked house in Navalpakkam, a locality near Tiruvannamalai town. Upon conducting an inspection, the police discovered the logs inside a fenced godown located on Navalpakkam Kutt Road, which lacked any security personnel.
The team broke the main door of the godown and apprehended the seven logs of red sanders. They promptly informed the forest officials, who evaluated the nature and quality of the seized logs. The logs may have originated from Chittoor in Andhra Pradesh. To apprehend the godown's owner and trace the source and purpose of acquiring the red sanders, special teams were established.
A case was filed, and the seized logs were handed over to the Forest Department. An ongoing investigation is being conducted.
