Guangdong police net 3 tons of crystal meth

Guangdong Province police announced yesterday they had seized 3 tons of crystal methamphetamine, or ice, during raids Sunday on a village notorious for drugs.

To root out drug production and trafficking in Boshe Village in Lufeng City, provincial paramilitary forces and police in four cities launched 109 raids with the help of helicopters and speedboats, the provincial public security bureau said in a statement.

A total of 182 suspects from 18 drug production and trafficking rings were arrested in and outside of the village and another 23 tons of raw materials for drug production were seized, it said.

Qiu Wei, a senior official with the anti-drug department under the provincial public security bureau, said Lufeng has long been notorious for drugs. In the past three years, it has provided one-third of the nation’s crystal meth, he said.
