According to the spokesperson for the Public Security Directorate, a total of 12 major cases were addressed by the Anti-Narcotics Department, resulting in the arrest of 23 individuals involved in drug trafficking, distribution, and smuggling.

One of the significant cases involved the discovery of a sophisticated drug smuggling attempt concealed within a cargo vehicle. Utilizing intelligence information, a specialized investigation team was able to identify the vehicle and apprehend six individuals associated with the illicit operation.

Additionally, operations at the Jaber border crossing led to the thwarting of another smuggling attempt involving crystal methamphetamine, along with the seizure of a large quantity of narcotic pills. The swift action of law enforcement personnel led to the arrest of the perpetrator and the confiscation of the illegal substances.

In Ajloun Governorate, a targeted security campaign in the Anjara area resulted in the arrest of six individuals, including one considered high-risk, and the seizure of narcotics.

In Mafraq Governorate, law enforcement authorities raided the residence of a known drug dealer, seizing a substantial quantity of narcotic pills, crystal methamphetamine, and firearms. Another arrest was made in a separate case, further contributing to efforts to combat drug trafficking in the region.
