SHIJIAZHUANG, May 4 (Xinhua) - Police in north China's Hebei Province have busted a drug dealing ring, detaining 11 suspects and seizing 2.4 kg of methamphetamine, according to the provincial department of public security.

In October 2017, Hebei police investigated a drug-dealing case in Xingtai city, which led police to Liu who was believed to be involved in long-term drug dealing.

Police caught Liu and another two suspects in southwest China's Chongqing Municipality and central China's Hubei Province, seizing three guns and more than 1,200 grams of crystal meth. The suspects confessed and named seven other people involved.

Eleven suspects have now been caught and eight guns confiscated.

The case is under further investigation. Enditem
