Chinese-Filipino drugs ring bust
Print Edition
DRUG control authorities from China and the Philippines have bust a 13-strong drug trafficking ring and seized 604 kilograms of crystal methamphetamine in the Philippine city of Valenzuela, China’s National Narcotics Control Commission said yesterday.
The NNCC said police in southeast China’s Fujian Province and anti-trafficking authorities of Xiamen City arrested 12 suspects involved in cross-border drug trafficking in a raid on May 12. Ensuing investigations revealed on May 25 that two of the suspects hid the drugs in cylindrical roller printers that had been cleared by Philippine customs.
Philippine officials seized the drugs the next day after being briefed by their Chinese counterparts. A Philippine suspect was arrested.
A spokesman with the NNCC said the case marked a major victory in law enforcement cooperation between China and the Philippines since October when drug control authorities from both sides signed a cooperation agreement. The case also showcased the two countries’ determination in combating drug-related crimes.
