Dubai: Dubai Police have arrested a gang of seven Asian nationals accused of promoting drugs in the emirate under instructions from a trafficker based outside the UAE. The suspects used multiple drop-off sites across the city to conceal their activities and avoid detection.
Brigadier Khaled bin Muiza, Director of the General Department of Anti-Narcotics, said the arrests followed extensive field surveillance and coordinated searches that tracked the suspects’ movements and communications.
Crystal meth found in initial raid
The first suspect was caught in possession of crystal meth at his residence. Investigations revealed that he had received instructions from abroad to distribute drugs at two separate locations, each containing one kilogram of narcotics.
“Dubai Police will strike with an iron fist at anyone who attempts to jeopardise public safety, and we will dismantle networks of traffickers even if they operate from abroad,” Brigadier bin Muiza said.
Public urged to stay vigilant
Dubai Police called on the public to report suspicious behaviour or messages by dialling 901 or using the Police Eye feature on the Dubai Police Smart App.
