Updated: 2009-06-18 23:08 BEIJING - Chinese customs officers seized 142.5 kilograms of drugs involving 495 cases of trafficking last year, the General Administration of Customs (GAC) said Thursday. It did not give a total value for the drugs.
Customs authorities in the coastal Guangdong Province confiscated drugs worth 3.1 million yuan (about US$456,000) after successful joint raids with counterparts in Hong Kong. The cooperation helped break up two drug-selling chains and five drug-making gangs. GAC said China faced "grim conditions and a tough task" as the illegal drug trade persisted globally and traffickers sought wider access. The agency said it would step up cooperation with other customs bodies under the framework of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization and the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation. |
