KUNMING, Aug. 19 (Xinhua) -- Drug enforcement officers in southwest China's Yunnan Province have stopped and captured two drug traffickers, local police sources said Friday.

One of the suspects was about to be inspected when he rushed through the barrier of a patrol station in Pu'er City, Yunnan Province. Drug enforcement officers apprehended him and found 14.4 kilograms of methamphetamine in a plastic woven bag the man was carrying

The suspect, whose identity was not disclosed, implicated another man, from Myanmar, in the case. He said he had given the Myanmar man 50,000 yuan (about 7,500 U.S. dollars) to transport the drugs to Kunming, the provincial capital.

In a separate case, a woman was stopped in Kunming Wednesday morning after around three kilograms of meth was found hidden in mooncakes. The woman suspect, 16 and pregnant, claimed that she was a foreign national. Police alleged that she had intended to bring the drugs from Lincang City to Kunming for high returns.

Yunnan shares the border with Myanmar, the Laos and Vietnam.

The investigations continue.
