The First High Criminal Court of Appeal upheld prison sentences in a drug trafficking case involving a garage worker and three other defendants after investigations revealed the workshop was used to distribute narcotics in Bahrain.

The court confirmed a 10-year prison sentence for the garage worker, along with a BD 5,000 fine and permanent deportation after serving his term. The second to fourth defendants each received a one-year prison sentence and a BD 1,000 fine for possession and drug-related offences; all seized narcotics and paraphernalia were confiscated.

Case details showed the workshop owner alerted authorities after noticing repeated suspicious visits to the garage. Police later discovered 195.3 grams of cannabis during a search, and investigations uncovered an organised network importing, storing, and distributing drugs across Bahrain.
