According to the Abu Dhabi Public Prosecution reports, customs officials arrested the duo at the Helly checkpoint in Al Ain.
 
The duo has confessed to the charges. The Asian allegedly paid a mediator Dh500 to facilitate his entry.
 
The GCC national was driving from Al Beremy area. At the checkpoint when his car was inspected, the Asian was found hiding in the trunk.
