A 27-year-old Pakistani delivery driver appeared before Bahrain's High Criminal Court charged with possessing, selling and trafficking synthetic cannabis (CPD) through a covert "dead drop" operation.
Officers acting on intelligence deployed to Salmaniya at 7 p.m. on April 21, where they spotted the suspect behaving nervously. He immediately confessed to placing CPD-soaked paper strips at the location moments earlier.
A search uncovered seven drug-laced sheets on his person and four bottles of suspected liquid CPD at his home, along with adhesive tape used in preparing the substances.
Prosecutors said the suspect worked as a courier for a Pakistani national believed to be overseas, receiving smuggled drugs, dividing them and distributing them via dead drops for payment. He admitted all charges before the Public Prosecution.
The case is adjourned to July 28, 2026.
