KUNMING, July 14 (Xinhua) -- Police in southwest China's Yunnan Province seized 23.98 kg of methamphetamine, the provincial public security department announced Sunday.
After receiving a tip-off regarding cross-border drug trafficking on July 1, border police in the city of Mangshi sent a task force to the border areas to investigate.
On July 8, the police seized the drugs from a backpack discarded by a suspected motorcyclist, who escaped from the scene.
Further investigation is underway.
Yunnan is a major front in China's battle against drug crime, as it borders the Golden Triangle known for its rampant drug production and trafficking.
