AMMAN — Ramtha police on Sunday seized 333 bags of synthetic cannabis (locally known as joker), according to Ramtha Police Department Director Col. Ammar Qudah.

A group of people from Sahab who reportedly came to deliver the drugs to a dealer in Ramtha, some 90km north of Amman, had them hidden in a black bag on an olive tree on the highway between Shajara and Amraweh towns.

Police forces from the Houran Plains security centre headed to the place and seized the drugs in an ambush. A police patrol was placed in the area to detect any movements or search operations for the drugs at the site.
