DUBAI // Two men appeared in court on Wednesday on charges of dealing drugs.
Police were tipped off about the activities of Emirati engineer A A, 35, and Palestinian H R, 36.
They were arrested in a hotel room, where they were taking drugs with another woman.
“We arrested them at 1am of December 14 last year and found a woman in their company and she had been consuming drugs with them,” testified H A, a police captain.
When they searched the house of A A, they found 142 amphetamine tablets, 77.8g of hashish and four Midazolam tablets.
