WUHAN, Dec. 21 (Xinhua) -- Chinese police have busted an armed drug gang and detained 180 suspects.

About 11 kg of drugs, 10 guns, more than 500 bullets and two vehicles were confiscated, according to Laifeng County police in central China's Hubei Province Thursday.

Police busted the vast drug trafficking network after a 10-month investigation in Hubei, Hunan and Guangdong provinces.

Chinese police arrested 168,000 suspects for drug production or trafficking, and solved 140,000 drug cases last year. Enditem
