DUBAI: The Criminal Court in Dubai charged three young Arabs with drug trafficking, after they smuggled a tonne of drugs from a neighboring country through one of the ports.
The suspects used metal pipes to fill a large quantity of drugs, which they put inside a refrigerator that was transported using a truck.
The first suspect was reportedly tasked to transport the drugs, and the second was responsible for disassembling the metal pipes.
According to the Public Prosecution papers, the security authorities received a tipoff on the suspects. The Dubai Police tasked a secret agent to communicate with the suspect who was tasked with transporting the drugs. They reportedly decided a time and place to meet. When the security agent went to the place where the truck was parked, the suspect tried to escape fearing arrest, not realising that he was being closely watched. The police arrested him but did not find any drugs on him, but when they took him back to the truck, he confessed to the crime and guided the police to the second suspect.
He also confessed that he coordinated with a third suspect in the other country to transfer the drugs in exchange for money.
