Amman, The Anti-Narcotics Department (AND) Monday arrested two suspects of drug dealing after showing resistance and shooting at the police, according to the Public Security Directorate (PSD).
The PSD press department said an AND team had gathered information and monitored the movements of a suspect selling drugs to determine their whereabouts and activities.
The PSD added in a statement that the suspect and an accomplice had been transporting “a large number of narcotic substances” to sell them, noting that the two suspects tried to escape after they were approached by the police and fired directly at officers.
The police arrested them after one of the suspects was injured from the exchange of fire. He was rushed to a hospital. An investigation was opened into the case.
