In brief
Jordanian police shut down 15 major drug cases, arresting 28 suspects and seizing thousands of pills and other narcotics. The operations reached the capital, the Badia region, and towns such as Irbid, Maan, and Zarqa, targeting both storage sites and trafficking routes. Key seizures included cannabis, crystal meth, cocaine, and a 18‑liter tank of liquid amphetamine.
Jordanian anti‑narcotics police rolled up 28 drug dealers across 15 separate cases, taking control of thousands of pills and other narcotics from locations that span Amman to the Badia region. The crackdown was led by the Public Security Directorate, which said the suspects were involved in trafficking, storage and promotion of drugs such as cannabis, marijuana, crystal methamphetamine, cocaine, amphetamine pills and liquid amphetamine.
In the capital Amman, officers handled eight cases and arrested 19 suspects. They seized 16,000 narcotic pills, large amounts of cannabis and other drugs in a single operation. A separate sweep found a storage apartment where three people were arrested and 6,000 pills and hashish were confiscated.
Seven more cases took place in Central Badia, Irbid, Maan and Zarqa, yielding nine arrests and drug seizures of varying sizes. In Zarqa, police stopped a suspect who was preparing to smuggle 4,000 pills to a neighboring country.
In another operation a search of a suspect’s car uncovered an additional tank, containing 18 litres of liquid amphetamine, showing that the trafficking network used vehicles to move large quantities of drugs.
The operation marks a significant effort by Jordanian authorities to clamp down on drug trafficking in the kingdom, with a clear focus on intercepting both the distribution centers and the transportation routes that link local dealers with regional buyers.
