Two suspects arrested for dealing in unlicensed products for muscle growth
Dubai Police have issued a warning about the increased use of unlicensed hormonal enhancement treatments among youth, which poses a high health risk.
The call came after two suspects were arrested for promoting these products in Dubai.
The powder-like products and injections were found by the investigators while inspecting the suspects’ accommodation.
“The wrong usage of these treatments is a major health risk,” he said.
“We urge the public not to fall for false claims and promises. People who illegally traffic these items are in it for easy profit making,” said Maj. Gen. Al Mazeina.
Police acted upon a tip-off from a source at the beginning of this month that a person was dealing in steroids and hormonal enhancements illegally.
An undercover police officer met with him and arranged to buy a large quantity of the product.
Upon arresting him, police found large quantities in his car and apartment.
