The district police seized 1,800 liquor bottles from a private farm at Devadanapatti near here on Thursday.
Following specific information, Superintendent of Police Praveen Umesh Dongre ordered a special team to check on the inputs.
Periyakulam DSP Muthukumar, Inspector Muthumani and others zeroed in on the farm at Pullakkapatti. A search by the team led to unearthing of 1,800 bottles, all from Goa and Karnataka. Each was a 750 ml bottle.
Preliminary inquiry revealed that the liquor bottles from other States were to be sent to an address in Kerala, but the carriers had to stock them in a private farm as surveillance at Tamil Nadu-Kerala border check posts had been intensified by police.
A hunt was on to nab the suspects and the liquor bottles were seized from the farm.
