(MENAFN - Khaleej Times) An Emirati student stood trial in the Court of First Instance on Sunday, charged with smuggling more than 2.8kg of hashish and narcotics in to the country. He was also accused of using narcotics.

The 21-year-old student was arrested in August last year at Terminal 3 of the Dubai International Airport with the quantity hidden in his baggage. He was coming back from America.

A customs inspector said that the automatic scanning of the defendant's baggage raised their suspicions. While searching the defendant's baggage, the inspectors found the drugs hidden in candies and deodorant boxes.

The defendant allegedly admitted that the quantity belonged to him and that the chocolate candies were blended with hashish and other drugs. He also allegedly admitted that he hid the drugs in deodorant boxes.

A policeman said that he made the defendant enter a detention office that evening when he saw him making a fuss after being caught. He allegedly found with him drugs.

The student's urine sample test showed it contained hashish and other narcotics. During the Public Prosecution investigation, the defendant allegedly admitted that he brought the drugs-blended candies from America. He also claimed he hid the marijuana in deodorant boxes.
