During the past 24

who were in possession of large quantities of narcotics”, said Sartawi.
He added that
“public security men from all units and formations, headed by the
Anti-Narcotics Department, have been working around the clock since the start
of the new operational phase in the same manner, without complacency or
hesitation, to raid and arrest anyone who deals with narcotic substances and
facilitates their trafficking, and will not allow them to pursue these criminal
activities under any circumstances”.
Meanwhile, the
police on Tuesday arrested one of the most wanted fugitives in the Kingdom
after ambushing him west of the Balqa Governorate, the Jordan News Agency,
Petra, reported.
The fugitive was
wanted for murder, drug dealing, terrorizing citizens, firing a weapon,
robbery, and kidnapping, according to the PSD spokesperson.
Sartawi said the
man had been laying low for a long time, but investigators were able to track
his movements and whereabouts through an extensive investigation over the past
few weeks.
After identifying his location, police set up a trap and
caught him off guard, rendering him unable to resist arrest or discharge his
gun, according to the spokesperson who added that the criminal was turned to
the judicial authorities.
