Three Saudi nationals have been jailed by the\u00a0Court of First Instance.<\/p>\n
After a tip-off, Dubai Police got a public prosecution warrant for arrest and search. A team of\u00a0anti-narcotics police officers then\u00a0raided the apartment the guys were staying at in Al Barsha and arrested the three of them\u00a0aged\u00a025, 22 and 19.<\/p>\n
The police found other Saudi people and three Moroccan women as well. They also found three cigarettes, suspected to contain hashish, and a bag with a\u00a0suspicious substance. Plus, they seized\u00a041.5 grams of hashish.<\/p>\n
The\u00a0three men\u00a0confessed to the police they took drugs and the 22-year-old said that the drugs belonged to him.<\/p>\n
Two of them have been sentenced to\u00a0four years each in prison for taking and possessing drugs, while the third has been given\u00a0a three-month jail term for taking mind-affecting substances. All will be deported after completing their jail terms.<\/p>\n
