Chinese police bust dozens in drug-trafficking raid

Chinese police have busted a sizeable drug-trafficking network in multiple raids across several provinces, the Ministry of Public Security announced Wednesday.

Police authorities from Fujian, Sichuan and Hubei nabbed a total of 71 suspects during a cross-province raid last week, with 2.1 kg ketamine as well as some pistols, long knives and daggers confiscated, the ministry said.

Police also detained 210 drug addicts in the clamp-down, according to the ministry.

Further investigation is under way.
