The 25-year-old Emirati policeman was arrested by an anti-narcotics unit of the Dubai Police from the parking lot of the General Directorate of Penitentiary and Reformatory Institutions where he worked in November last year.
The anti-narcotics officers were informed that the defendant used and possessed narcotics and drugs. The officers arrested him as he was stepping out of his car. No drugs were found in his car or with him at that time.
He admitted to the officers that three days prior to that day, he was contacted by a compatriot detained provisionally at the Al Habab Detention Centre in connection with a sexual assault case. The detainee asked him to go to Dubai Bypass Road and get a bag hidden under a signboard. The defendant went there and got the bag. He found it contained two boxes of heroin.
Two days later, the detainee called the defendant again and asked him to put one box under a lamppost in Nad Al Hamar. The defendant buried the other box, as told, behind his house fence in Al Mizhar. He led the police officers to where he had hidden the plastic box which was found to contain heroin.
The defendant was taken to the General Directorate of Anti-Narcotics. His urine sample tested positive for two types of narcotics, according to the Criminal Lab’s report. However, he presented a medical report stating they were prescribed for him.
