The Public Prosecution has announced the arrest of three individuals in connection with a suspicious postal package containing approximately 9.5 kilograms of a liquid substance believed to be narcotic.

According to the Head of the Drug Crimes Prosecution, the package was intercepted by Bahrain’s Anti-Narcotics Directorate. Inside, officers found several containers filled with the suspected liquid drug.

The investigation led to the arrest of two Asian nationals who arrived to collect the package. Upon searching the residence of one of the suspects, authorities found medical pills, liquid-soaked papers suspected to be drug-laced, as well as tools and materials commonly used in drug consumption and distribution.

A third suspect, a Bahraini national, was later arrested while attempting to receive the same package from one of the original suspects. He reportedly resisted arrest, but was subdued. Searches of his home and vehicle revealed more suspected drugs and related paraphernalia.

The Public Prosecution quickly launched an investigation, questioning all three suspects and ordering their detention for seven days pending further inquiries. Charges filed include drug trafficking, possession, and intent to distribute and consume illegal substances.

The seized items have been sent for forensic testing, and authorities are awaiting final police reports and witness statements as the case progresses.
