Guangdong crackdown on drugs ring
Print Edition
POLICE in Guangdong Province have seized two tons of methamphetamine in the latest crackdown on a cross-border drug trafficking ring.
Deng Jianwei, head of drug enforcement at Guangdong Provincial Public Security Department, said yesterday that police in Jieyang, Shanwei, Shenzhen and Guangzhou cities, had arrested more than 10 suspects and closed two drug production sites in two police operations. Police had also seized two replica handguns and bullets.
In mid September, police in the southern China province received a tip-off that several people, including one from Hong Kong and one from Vietnam, were seeking to traffic drugs to Hong Kong, Deng said.
Late last month, police stormed a drugs production site in Panyu, Guangzhou, and seized one suspect and 1.1 tons of solid and liquid methamphetamine, he said.
The remaining members of the drug ring then moved production to Jieyang. This month, police stormed the second site and seized more than 10 suspects and 0.9 tons of methamphetamine, Deng said.
In the first three quarters of the year, police in Guangdong uncovered 15,000 drugs cases, arrested 19,000 suspects and seized 14.7 tons of drugs.
