AMMAN — The Anti-Narcotics Department (AND) on Monday seized five million pills of illegal drugs intended to be smuggled to a neighbouring country, according to the Public Security Department (PSD) media office.

AND staff received a tip that a group of people were storing huge quantities of narcotic pills inside hydraulic hoses of a truck on its way to a border crossing, the PSD said in a statement, adding that further investigation led to the main suspect, who was referred to the State Security Court, while search is still under way for other suspects.
