Police bust drug ring

A team of police has succeeded in busting drug ring controlled by two Nigerian men and four Bahraini men. According to police, the ring was run by a Bahraini prisoner from his cell and he was assisted by his father, brother and Bahraini friend.

The racket was busted after the police received a tip-off that a Bahraini prisoner, who is serving jail time in connection with a drug case, was operating a drug smuggling network in coordination with Nigerian men as well as his father, brother and a Bahraini friend.

Subsequently, the Nigerian man was arrested at the airport and over three kilograms of shabu and one kilogram of heroin was seized from him. “He told us that a Bahraini man would receive him outside the airport, but he didn’t know his identity. Therefore, we allowed him to leave after he pledged to help us arrest the other man,” a customs officer told prosecutors.
