Two pregnant women have been caught in southwest China's Yunnan Province for carrying more than 15 kilograms of drugs, local border police announced Friday.
The police were tipped off that two women planned to transport drugs from abroad to China Wednesday. The two were seized that night in Ruili City when trying to board a bus to the regional capital of Kunming, according to frontier police in Dehong Prefecture.
Police found 66 packages of methamphetamine in their purses.
The two women confessed that a foreign man asked them to carry the drugs into China and promised to give them 10,000 yuan (1,538.5 U.S. dollars) each.
The case is under investigation.
