Four drug suspects arrested in AND raids

AMMAN — The Anti-Narcotics Department (AND) has implemented several raids over the past 24 hours, which have resulted in the arrest of four suspects in two separate cases of drug trafficking in Amman and Northern Shouneh, the Public Security Directorate (PSD) spokesperson said on Sunday. 

In the Amman case, an AND team raided the safe house of three suspects who pointed guns at the security force, requiring AND agents to apply the rules of engagement before arresting the three suspects and seizing their weapons and drugs, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported. 

In the Northern Shouneh case, a security force team raided the safe house of a drug trafficker who is classified among the most wanted in the area, according to the PSD spokesperson. 

The suspect was arrested after security force personnel found him in possession of narcotic pills, the spokesperson added.
