AMMAN — Anti-Narcotics Department (AND) agents have foiled an attempt to smuggle 16 kilogrammes of heroin and arrested those involved, the Public Security Department said on Wednesday.

AND received a tip that two suspects were planning to smuggle a large quantity of drugs to a neighbouring country on a cargo vehicle.

Investigators detained the driver and raided his partner’s house, where they found 50,000 narcotic pills.

The two suspects were referred to the State Security Court.
