Alert over rising ‘dead drop’ method in drug smuggling


A top official has warned the public about a rise in drug dealers using the dead drop method to traffic in illicit substances in Bahrain.

Authorities are urging citizens to report any suspicious activities that involve drugs or substances that look like drugs – but only after ensuring their own safety.

Speaking on the Interior Ministry’s Al Aman show on social media, head of Hidd Police Station Colonel Dr Osama Bahar explained the increasing popularity of the dead drop method.

“It is a decade-old criminal tactic that relies on eliminating the idea of direct contact between the dealer and the user,” he said.
