The police from China and Myanmar have jointly solved several drug cases, nabbing three suspects with 160 kg of drugs, officials said.
The three suspects included two from China and one from Myanmar, said the drug control bureau, the public security department of Yunnan Province, on Friday.
On December 19, the Yunnan police received tip-offs that a batch of drugs would be transferred from Kokang in Myanmar into China. The local police immediately contacted their Myanmar counterparts, Xinhua news agency reported.
The same day, the Kokang police found six bags of methamphetamine weighing 160 kg in a sugarcane field. One Myanmar suspect was caught. The drugs were handed over to the Chinese police.
The Myanmar police also helped police officials in China's Chongqing Municipality and Jiling province catch two drug dealers who fled to Myanmar at the end of last year. All cases were still under investigation.
