In the first Amman case, a specialist investigation team monitored a criminal network active across the capital. After gathering intelligence and surveilling suspects, investigators identified ten members of the network and raided all of their locations simultaneously, arresting all ten. A combined total of 36 slabs of hashish were seized from their possession.

A second Amman operation targeted a suspect already linked to drug cases who, according to intelligence, was stockpiling large quantities of narcotics for distribution to dealers across the capital. Officers raided his home and arrested him, recovering 41 hashish slabs, 14,000 narcotic pills, and two firearms.

In Irbid, a separate specialist team tracked an eight-member trafficking network operating in the governorate. After completing all investigations and collecting the necessary intelligence, officers raided the suspects and arrested all eight, seizing 5,000 narcotic pills.
