A man has been arrested for attempting to smuggle more than 2 million drug pills into a neighbouring Gulf country.
Abu Dhabi police arrested a man hiding more than 10 full sacks of drug pills in a house in Al Ain after receiving a tip-off. The man was planning to smuggle and sell them on to a drug dealer in a trans-national deal.
The shipment was allegedly smuggled into the UAE earlier through a seaport by concealing them in vegetable dryer machines. The man said that he had received the shipment without knowing they were drugs and claimed it belonged to a relative.
