Life for Bahraini drug dealer, 27 |
A DRUG dealer has been sentenced to life in prison after police seized 255kg of hashish from his house in Budaiya.
| The 27-year-old Bahraini pleaded guilty to the charges of obtaining, possessing and selling the drugs, using his house as a warehouse. The sentence was passed by the High Criminal Court, which acquitted two other Bahrainis who were said to be supplying the drugs. |

| Officers arrested him in April following a tip-off as he was driving and discovered hashish under his car seat, as well as a scalpel with traces of the drug on his door compartment.

An undercover policeman acted as a potential customer, was given marked currency notes and told to contact the drug dealer on the pretext of buying the drug, according to court documents.
A drug squad was sent in advance to the rendezvous point and the man, who tried to escape, was caught red-handed after the exchange.
He then led them to his garage where the rest of the drugs were found stashed in three metallic suitcases.
The man claimed at first that he was storing the drugs for another Bahraini and said he took commission of BD50 to BD100 from sales.
He also claimed not to know the third Bahraini, who supplied his accomplice.
