Jordan's Anti-Narcotics Department said it foiled five operations in recent days, leading to nine arrests. One case was cannabis-related: a man in downtown Amman was arrested for allegedly growing marijuana seedlings at home. Officers reportedly seized 2,300 seedlings.
The other cases in the statement involve liquid cocaine at Queen Alia airport, narcotic pills at the Jaber crossing, and traffickers in Mafraq and Balqa. Investigations are ongoing and suspects have been referred to the judicial authorities. The man is not named.
Why it matters: This is one of five cases in a police roundup, and the cannabis suspect has been referred to the courts.
