Police have arrested and identified a man they allege is “the top drug dealer in Laamu Atoll”, during a press conference called by Head of the Police Drug Enforcement Department (DED), Superintendent Ahmed Jinah.
Jinah identified the man as Hassan Yousuf, 26 of Mathimaradhoo in Laamu Atoll.
“Police and society have recognised him as the top dealer in Laamu Atoll, and he has now been caught for the second time,’’ said Jinah. “A recent case involving him is in trial, and he was again caught with suspected narcotics.”
Jinah said Yousuf was in police custody and the court had granted an extension of his detention to 10 days.
