Based on the information, Col Al-Dureie’ indicated that the bedoun was put under surveillance, which led to his arrest last Friday in Suleibiya area where he was caught in possession of a kilo of hashish, kilo of shabo and half of kilo of heroin. Col Al-Dureie added that after intensive interrogations to determine the relations between the bedoun and the Saudi national inmate, the bedoun confessed he works for the inmate and also confessed about the big haul of drugs he had buried in an area called Bneidar.
