KUNMING, Dec. 10 (Xinhua) -- Police in southwest China's Yunnan Province apprehended seven suspected drug traffickers and seized more than 66 kg of methamphetamine, local police said Monday.

On Dec. 1, police in the border city of Lincang received a tip-off on a planned drug deal in Lincang.

Anti-narcotics police later intercepted a vehicle and found 66.59 kg of methamphetamine in the vehicle, arresting seven men from Myanmar.

Further investigation is underway.

Yunnan is a major front in China's war on drugs, as it borders the Golden Triangle, notorious for drug production and trafficking.
