KUNMING, Jan. 26 (Xinhua) -- Police in southwest China's Yunnan Province have busted a case in which over 5 kg of methamphetamine hidden in an express parcel was seized, local authorities said Tuesday.

Police intercepted the suspected parcel in Zhenxiong County administrated by Zhaotong City on Jan. 13, and seized 10 packages of methamphetamine weighing 5.49 kg that were hidden in a stereo.

The police operation was launched based on a tip-off that drug dealers planned to traffic the drugs from Kunming, capital of Yunnan, to Zhenxiong. Police caught three suspects on the spot.

The suspects have been put under detention, while further investigation is underway. Enditem
