Lebanese citizens H.S., 21, and J.Aa., 20, and Syrian national M.M., 19, admitted to the charges. The three men would steal motorcycles, change their color and sell them. They would then use the money to buy recreational drugs.

The statement reported that J.Aa. has previous convictions for abusing drugs and that police impounded three stolen motorbikes, one of which had cocaine and hash hidden in it.

The three suspects were referred to judicial police and the anti-narcotics central bureau for further investigations.
