Chongqing Police Uncover "Ice" Trafficking Case
Chongqing Municipal Police in southwest China recently confiscated dozens of "ice" tablets and more than 360 grams of heroin from a man hoping to sell them in entertainment spots.
Local police said this is the first time they have uncovered "ice" in the inland region; previously the drug appeared only in coastal cities and southwestern Yunnan province.
Huang Wenhua, the suspect, told police he bought the 64 orange-colored "ice" pills outside China, intending to sell them to young people in discos, bars and karaoke parlors.
The local police also investigated another first-time case of drug selling in entertainment centers, seizing over 200 pills of the drug "Ecstasy," known in China as the "head-rocking pill" and 16 grams of cocaine for the first time.
