Ammon News - Media spokesperson of Public Security Directorate (PSD) stated that the Anti-Narcotics Department, through its daily efforts to pursue all cases of drug trafficking, distribution, and smuggling, has dealt with a number of significant cases in recent days. These include two cases involving individuals linked to regional drug smuggling and trafficking gangs, in addition to seven other cases in the capital involving drug dealers and distributors.

The spokesperson explained that the first case fell within the jurisdiction of the Ruwaished Brigade, where a special investigation team monitored and tracked an individual suspected of dealing with regional drug smuggling and trafficking gangs.

After verifying all the information, they were arrested in a raid, and 50 slabs of hashish and half a kilogram of cocaine were seized.

The media spokesperson added that, as part of ongoing efforts to combat all forms of drug trafficking and distribution, six significant cases were handled in the capital during the past period, in addition to one case in Aqaba.
