The High Criminal Court sentenced a young man to three years in prison after he was found guilty of promoting and selling narcotic substances. The defendant was also fined BD3,000.
According to court files, the Anti-Drug department at the Ministry of Interior received information indicating that the defendant was in possession of narcotics with intent to use and sell.
An undercover agent was assigned to purchase some from him. He called him and requested to purchase narcotics valued at BD30. As a result, the officer in plain clothes, accompanied by a policeman, moved to the Al Lawzi area, which was the agreed-upon place.
The pair met the accused who handed over the drugs to the undercover agent. The accused attempted to escape after noticing that he was transacting with an officer.
The police, however, arrested him. During questioning, the accused admitted that he possessed the seized substance with the intent to use it, in addition to selling it from time to time. He was charged with consuming and selling drugs.
