Three Egyptian expatriates were arrested Friday evening for the possession and sale of hashish.
Acting on information, the Director General of Anti-Drug Department Brigadier Sheikh Ahmad Al-Khalifa formed a team to investigate the case. One of the suspects, an engineer who earns KD 1,400 per month, was lured into selling two fingers of hashish for KD 100 to an undercover agent. He was arrested once the transaction was carried out using marked police notes.
The arrested Egyptian confessed to selling the hashish as a favor to his unemployed brother and led the officials to his house. The brother was duly arrested and half a kilo of hashish was found in his apartment. He, in turn, led the officials to the third member in their operation, a shawarma chef. The officials raided his apartment in Jahra, and less than hour later, confiscated one kilo of hashish hidden in a laptop bag under a shawarma grill and arrested the chef.
During interrogation, the chef confessed that he was working for an inmate at the Central Jail. A case was registered.
