KUNMING, June 18 (Xinhua) -- Police in southwest China's Yunnan Province caught two Myanmar suspects for trafficking 47 kg of methamphetamine into China, according to a local police notification on Monday.

The police in Shidian County, Baoshan City, received information in late May that drug dealers were planning to transport drugs from Myanmar into central China's Hunan Province via Yunnan.

They intercepted a car on June 4, and found meth weighing 47 kg in 61 small bags in the city of Pu'er.

Further investigation is underway.

Yunnan, which borders the Golden Triangle, known for its rampant drug production and trafficking activities, is a major front in China's battle against drug crime.
