The Anti-Narcotics Department continued its campaigns and raids targeting drug dealers and traffickers, dealing with 13 cases across the Kingdom over several days and arresting 31 suspects and dealers, the Public Security Directorate spokesperson said Thursday, October 8, 2026.[1][2]
In the most prominent case, a specialized team working with security agencies and Jordan Customs followed up on information about a person in Aqaba allegedly smuggling drugs into the Kingdom by boat; officers raided the suspect, arrested him and seized 132 slabs of hashish inside the boat, while an alleged accomplice was referred for arrest.[1][2][3]
In another Aqaba case, officers raided two dealers transporting narcotics in a vehicle and arrested them with 44 slabs of hashish and a quantity of marijuana.[1] In Madaba Governorate, a team monitoring suspects using tents to store and trade narcotics raided them and arrested five, seizing 43 slabs of hashish; questioning led to another 24 slabs and two firearms at a rugged mountainous location.[1][2]
Further raids netted an armed high-risk suspect in western Balqa with crystal methamphetamine, a hashish slab and two firearms; three suspects in Al-Ruwaished with pills, hashish and methamphetamine; a Northern Badia smuggling suspect whose desert cache held amphetamine and hashish; nine members of a crystal meth network in Irbid; and dealers with hashish slabs in the Southern Jordan Valley, Central Badia, west Amman and more pills in Irbid.[1]
