Heroin Hidden in Tea Trade Seized in South China Border

Police in southwest China's Yunnan Province, which borders Myanma, recently seized 244 kg of heroin hidden in a truck that was apparently transporting tea from Ruili County, in the Dehong Tai and Jingpo Autonomous Prefecture, to the provincial capital of Kunming.

The driver's expression aroused suspicion of border police at Mukang in the prefecture, which led to the seizure of the drug.

The drug was found mixed in a tea box at the bottom of the truck.

Three suspects were arrested on the spot. Border police at Mukang have confiscated 604 kg of heroin this year.
