Two Brothers from Dhuvaafaru Arrested with 65 Packets of Suspected Drugs

Two men from Dhuvaafaru, Ra Atoll, have been arrested with 65 packets of substances believed to be drugs. The arrested individuals are identified as Hajara Maisa Ali, aged 26, and Abdullah Ali, aged 33, both from Dhuvaafaru. The Dhuvaafaru Council confirmed to 'Sun' that the two are brothers. Police stated that the arrests were made in connection with a case involving suspected drug trading and use in Dhuvaafaru, during a joint operation conducted by Dhuvaafaru Police and the Counter Narcotics Intelligence on the fourth day of this month. During the operation, which was carried out under a court order, a search of a house in Dhuvaafaru led to the discovery of the 65 packets containing a substance believed to be drugs. The court has ordered the detention of Hajara Maisa Ali for seven days and Abdullah Ali for 15 days. The police are currently investigating the case. Such drug-related cases have become common in the country, particularly from the Malé area, where the number of young people arrested in such cases continues to increase.
