Col. Saeed Humaid Nasser, Head of Anti-Narcotics Department at Ajman Police, said that the Asian, identified as R.M., aka Bellalo, was arrested after the police received a tip off that the man was looking for buyers for supplying various drugs.

After completing permission formalities, police raided his apartment and seized 5,981 pills and capsules, and during interrogation the suspect confessed that he was planning to sell the illegal substances.

Col. Nasser confirmed that the suspect had a previous criminal record, as he was earlier apprehended for selling tramadol, as well as other pills, to school students.

After serving his previous jail term, the man was deported from the UAE, but he later re-entered the country illegally in order to pursue his criminal activities.
