More than 114gm of heroin, 8kg of marijuana as well as a large quantity of mind-altering substances were also confiscated across the kingdom during the last five months.
It follows the Anti-Narcotics Directorate ramping up measures to clamp down on drug dealing and trafficking in the country.
“Fighting narcotics is a community responsibility. It requires joint efforts of the government and society,” Criminal Investigation and Forensic Evidence General Directorate’s Anti-Narcotics Directorate Operations division head Captain Abdullah Ismael said.
A total of 149 cases of drug dealing were registered in Bahrain during the first half of this year.
