AMMAN — The Anti-Narcotics Department (AND) on Sunday seized 309 kilogrammes of cocaine after four months of investigation, the Public Security Department (PSD) said.

Investigation began after AND received a tip about an operation to smuggle large quantities of cocaine through Jordan to a neighbouring country.

The shipment came from a Latin American country.

The drugs were hidden in a shipment of plastic granules on board a ship in the Port of Aqaba.

The PSD said it was the largest haul seized by AND, adding that two suspects were detained.
