Man caught in southwest China for cross-border drug trafficking
Online Edition
A MAN was caught in southwest China's Yunnan province carrying drugs from Myanmar to China, according to local police Monday.
The man, surnamed Wang, was driving a red car to Mangshi city last Tuesday morning, when border police stopped him and found him very nervous. After a thorough check, they found 17 lumps of methamphetamine in the car boot. They later seized a further ten lumps from the seat.
The methamphetamine weighed 13.45 kilograms in total. Wang told police that a man in Myanmar asked him to carry it to Kunming, capital of Yunnan, and offered to give him 500,000 yuan (about US$72,500) after the trip.
The investigation is ongoing.
Mangshi is the capital city of the Dehong Dai and Jingpo Autonomous Prefecture, which is near the opium-producing Golden Triangle. Border police in the prefecture seized 1.6 tons of narcotics, completed 668 drug-related investigations and arrested 662 suspects in 2016.
