Police in southwest China's Yunnan Province arrested two suspects for drug trafficking and seized around 40 kg of drugs, local police said Wednesday.
The police in Changning County received a tip-off in mid-September that drug dealers were planning to smuggle drugs from Myanmar to southwest China's Sichuan Province and Chongqing Municipality via Yunnan.
On Nov. 10, police apprehended two suspects who were transporting drugs with a motorcycle. The police found 13 blocks of heroin and 34 bags of methamphetamine, weighing about 40 kg in total.
The suspects surnamed Ran and Tang respectively, have been detained and further investigation is underway.
Yunnan is a major front in China's battle against drug crime as it borders the Golden Triangle, an area notorious for rampant drug production and trafficking.
