ManamaThe High Criminal Court handed down a suspect ten years behind bars for peddling drugs. 

He was fined also BD5000, while a second man, accused of substance abuse, was given one year in prison and a fine of BD3000. 

The first accused was allegedly selling drugs, and police assigned an undercover agent to carry out a sting operation to nab him red-handed. The agent reportedly contacted the first accused, offering to buy six heroin cigarettes for BD60.
