Twelve people have been detained for trafficking 55.6 kg of heroin in southwest China, according to police in Yunnan Province.

In early September, police received a tip-off that a man from Sichuan Province had contacted drug dealers in Myanmar, planned to transport heroin to Sichuan via Yunnan, which borders Myanmar.

An investigation followed, and last week, two suspects were caught in Yunnan's Dehong prefecture. Another ten suspects were then caught in other parts of Yunnan and Sichuan.

The investigation continues.
