Two held with 100 tablets of heroine

Dubai police recently foiled an attempt of drug traffickers to sell some 100 tablets of heroine. The case has been referred to the Public Prosecution.
Yousuf Al Adidi, deputy director of the Anti-Drug Unit of Dubai Police, said he had received a tip that an African national and an Asian were in possession of 100 tablets of heroine and were looking for a buyer. The CID immediately formed a team to investigate the matter and set a trap to arrest them.
Kumar, the Asian drug trafficker, had fixed an appointment to meet the African national, Samuel, near the Hyatt Regency hotel in Deira. The police arrested the two suspects red-handed with the 100 tablets in their possession. The African suspect resisted the police and tried to escape before being arrested. During interrogation, the two suspects confessed to their crime. Kumar told police that he was asked by somebody whose identity he does not know, to deliver the drug consignment to Samuel. He said he was paid money to do so.

Kumar said he had no details of the person who had smuggled the heroine tablets into the country. He claimed he was only an agent who had been asked to deliver the drugs to another person in Dubai. Laboratory tests showed that both suspects were not using drugs. However, Dubai Police have charged the two with possessing and trafficking drugs and referred them to the Public Prosecution. Source
