AMMAN — The Public Security Department (PSD), in cooperation with Royal Badia Forces, on Thursday arrested two suspects in east Amman involved in drug trafficking and seized huge amounts of narcotics.

In a raid of the suspected Jordanian dealers’ house, PSD personnel seized 15,000 pills of illegal drugs and 10 kilogrammes of hashish.

The case was referred to the State Security Court prosecutor.

Meanwhile, a joint force from the Anti-Narcotics Department and the Royal Badia Forces raided a tent in the Southern Badia used to sell smuggled fuel in the area.

The forces also seized 53,000 illegal pills that suspects planned to smuggle to a neighbouring country.

Three Arabs and a Jordanian were arrested in the raid and referred to the prosecutor.
