Ammon News - AMMONNEWS - Anti-Narcotics personnel foiled a bid to smuggle 60 kg of processed Heroin into a neighboring country, the Public Security Department's (PSD) said Tuesday.
The PSD media center said officers arrested three people, while another two were still at large.
After a tip-off, the Anti-Narcotics team kept an eye on the culprits and followed them to the Aqaba city, some 330 km south of Amman, where they prepared a number of gallons of fuel in order to conceal the substance in them. These were to be put into one of the boats to be transported across the sea to the neighboring country.
The team raided the criminals' whereabouts, seized the contraband and arrested three people. Search is on for the other suspects.
