A Bahraini mother reported her drug-addict son to police, according to sources. The mother alerted the police after her son began creating troubles at home.

Upon arrest, he was tested positive for heroin and other drugs. “Suddenly, a woman came to the police station on Exhibition Road and informed about a drug addict who turned out to be her son. “She told us that he was troubling the family and was uncontrollable. She told us that he was consuming some pills,” the police officer who received the complaint from the woman told prosecutors. It’s said that police officers found burnt spoons in his room.
