TWO alleged drug smugglers carrying 11.2 kilograms of heroin were nabbed by police in Menglian, a county in southwestern Yunnan Province on the border with Myanmar.
Border police were tipped off on Monday that traffickers drove vehicles across the border, transporting heroin into China. Police questioned local villagers and learned that the pair, with a big woven bag, were seen riding a motorcycle from Myanmar early in the morning and hiding in a village, the Xinhua news agency reported yesterday.
Police set up surveillance to watch for the smugglers. On Tuesday morning, the two suspects appeared, but were merely driving their motorcycle back and forth without carrying any goods. Police took that to mean they were checking the safety of their route to transport the drug, the report said.
Police then set up a checkpoint at the main crossroads in Menglian County. Around 3am on Wednesday, the pair set off with the drugs, just as police had expected.
About 45 minutes later, they found the checkpoint was in their way. The men tried to escape but were caught by the police, who confiscated 32 pieces of heroin in their bag, Xinhua said. The suspects were not identified.
