Damascus, June 25 (SANA) Jordanian authorities seized about 150,000 Captagon pills concealed inside vehicle tires at the Jaber border crossing in a joint operation coordinated with Syria’s Drug Enforcement Administration, Syria’s Interior Ministry said on Thursday.
The ministry said Jordan’s Anti-Narcotics Department carried out the seizure in coordination with its Syrian counterpart as part of ongoing bilateral efforts to combat cross-border drug trafficking.
According to the ministry, the operation reflects continued security cooperation between Syria and Jordan aimed at disrupting narcotics smuggling networks, strengthening border security and protecting communities from drug-related threats.
In April, Syrian and Jordanian anti-narcotics authorities intercepted smuggling of 943 kilograms of Captagon at the Jaber border crossing.
