Eleven courting couples misbehaving on the Tangalle beach were arrested by Tangalle Police during a raid.

All the couples were found to be minors, Police said. Some couples were subsequently released after a stern warning and handed over to their parents. All were between the ages of 15 to 17.

Police refused to release the other four as their guardians failed to come to the police station, Police said.

They are still at Tangalle Police.
