A former policeman in Dandong city in northeast China's Liaoning Province was sentenced to death for producing drugs with a habitual criminal, a court announced on Thursday.

According to the Intermediate People's Court of Dandong city, Wang Changping, a former policeman, began producing methamphetamine at the end of 2012 together with Han Xuedong, a drug producer who was released from prison in June 2011.

The group built three meth labs in rural areas of Dandong city and Tongliao city in the north Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, and produced more than one hundred kilograms of methamphetamine in one and half years.

They were busted in May 2014, with 20 kilograms of drugs seized at Wang's office and apartment.

The court sentenced Wang and Han to death. Another two suspects in the case were sentenced to death with two year reprieve and imprisonment for life respectively. Endi
