BEIJING, Dec 16 (Reuters) – China seized 430 kg of smuggled cocaine last month, acting on information from the United States, the Chinese Public Security Ministry said on Tuesday.
Chinese authorities were able to seize the drugs from a “suspicious” international container at Yantian Port in the southern city of Shenzhen on November 26, the ministry said, based on information from the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration.
The case is under further investigation, the security ministry said, giving no further details.
