Dubai’s police arrested an Asian drug dealer after using a detective undercover to contact the man and buy heroin from him.

Counter-drug squads sent the undercover posting as a customer after obtaining information that the 40-year-old man had a large amount of heroin and was trying to sell it to customers in Bani Yas in the emirate.

Once the dealer gave the undercover the drugs and got the money, police men hiding in the area raided the place and arrested him. After searching his house in Nayef area, they found a large quantity of heroin concealed in plastic bags in the sitting room.

“He said that he was supplied with the stuff by an Asian man….he said he does not know the man’s name or his address,” said Major General Abdul Jalil Al Asmawi, director of the counter-drug department in Dubai.

Quoted by Emirat Alyoum daily, Asmawi said the man faces charges of possessing and trading in narcotics.
