The High Criminal Court of Bahrain has scheduled a hearing for April 22 to consider the arguments of four Asian individuals accused of trafficking in narcotic substances.

The defendants have been nabbed after the anti-drug department at the Ministry of Interior received a tip-off revealing that the first defendant was involved in the sale and abuse of narcotics.

Based on this information, the Public Prosecution obtained a warrant to arrest and search the defendant’s residence.

He was apprehended at his residence, accompanied by the third accused, who appeared to be in an abnormal condition.

A search of the residence led to the discovery of approximately one kilogram of cannabis oil, as well as quantities of narcotic substances, narcotic pills, and materials used in drug sales.

During their investigation, authorities learned that the first accused had received a portion of the cannabis oil from the second and fourth defendants.

In an effort to capture the second accused, the first defendant cooperated with the police.

Under police supervision, the first accused contacted the second accused and arranged a meeting to deliver the previously received cannabis oil.

The second accused, who was also in an abnormal condition, was arrested after opening his apartment door. A search of the apartment revealed rolling papers and two boxes suspected to contain narcotic cannabis oil.
