NANNING, Feb. 2 -- A six month manhunt by police in south China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region has resulted in nearly 70 kg of methamphetamine seized and 15 arrests.
A police officer noticed a suspicious man in a railway station in Liuzhou City on May 7. When the man saw the officer he threw down his bag and ran away.
The man was detained on the spot, and a search of the bag uncovered over 500 grams of methamphetamine and nearly 40 grams of heroin hidden in instant noodle packets.
The man confessed and informed police about his accomplices, who were moving drugs from neighboring Guangdong Province to Liuzhou before distributing all over China.
A total of 1.37 million yuan (208,000 U.S. dollars) and two vehicles were seized in raids that followed raids. The leader of the ring, identified by the surname Chen, was captured in November.
