AMMAN — The Northern Military Zone on Saturday early morning foiled infiltration and smuggling attempts from the Syrian territories into the Kingdom.

The vehicle laden with narcotics was seized, the source added, noting that after searching the vehicle the agents found 578 palm-sized sheets of hashish, 6,447,000 Captagon pills and 1,876 Lyrica pills, as well as tools for smuggling purposes, all of which were referred to relevant authorities, added the source.
