The men were collecting iron materials from land that was recently released to the public after military occupation, in order to sell the goods in Kankesanthurai and surrounding areas.
Police officers on patrol allege the Tamils were in possession of 200 12mm calibre bullet capsules.
The men have been remanded until September 10 by Mallakam court.

Sri Lanka is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a journalist. Tamil journalists are particularly at threat, with at least 41 media workers known to have been killed by the Sri Lankan state or its paramilitaries during and after the armed conflict.
Despite the risks, our team on the ground remain committed to providing detailed and accurate reporting of developments in the Tamil homeland, across the island and around the world, as well as providing expert analysis and insight from the Tamil point of view
