Guangxi police nab cross-border drug smuggling ring   

广西警方摧毁一跨国贩毒团伙

广西崇左市警方28日通报，历时5年追踪，当地警方近日摧毁一个盘踞在中越边境线上的跨国贩毒团伙，缴获毒品海洛因49块，重达18.6公斤；冰毒19.6克，毒资570万元人民币，黄金条14.5公斤，抓获犯罪嫌疑人6名。

Nanning (CNS) -- The Congzuo police in Guangxi announced on Thursday that it rounded up a drug smuggling ring of six, active across the Sino-Vietnamese border. The bust yielded 18.6 kilograms (kg) of heroin and 19.6 grams of smokable methamphetamine, as well as 5.7 million yuan in cash (US$844,700) and 14.7 kg of gold.

Ring leader Nong Moubing has been suspected of drug smuggling since 2007, but police could get no evidence until now as Nong was an expert at thwarting investigation.

Guangxi is a critical anti-drug battlefield due to geographical vitality to drug dealers in the Golden Delta region. By June 10, regional police had solved more than 1,900 drug cases this year.
