COAST GUARD SEIZE 130KG OF HASHISH IN BAHRAIN

MANAMA - The Bahrain Coast Guard seized on Wednesday 130kg of Hashish.
However, the three Bahraini suspects, who tried to import the drugs
into the country, could not be caught.

The Coast Guard chased them to the waters of Saudi Arabia. The
suspects had stuffed hashish into six barrels and threw them into the
sea before they fled.

The Coast guard seized three of six barrels. The Public Prosecution is
investigating the case and has given the names of the suspects to
Inetrpol for their arrest.
