KUNMING, Aug. 21 (Xinhua) -- Police in southwest China's Yunnan Province arrested a drug trafficker and seized more than 12 kilograms of drugs, the local police said Tuesday.
Earlier this month, police in Nujiang Lisu Autonomous Prefecture received information that someone was planning to transport a large amount of drugs across the border into China.
On August 16, police caught a man allegedly carrying 12.06 kg of methamphetamine and 0.76 kg of heroin on a motorcycle in Dehong Dai and Jingpo Autonomous Prefecture.
The suspect is currently being held in police custody. The case is under further investigation.
Yunnan is a major front in China's battle against drug crime as it borders the Golden Triangle, known for drug trafficking in southeast Asia.
