BEIJING, Aug. 2 (Xinhua) -- Chinese and Malaysian police jointly cracked a cross-border drug trafficking ring case, detaining 11 suspects and seizing 245.2 kg of crystal meth, according to the China National Narcotics Control Commission Wednesday.

The operation started from intelligence found last August by police in southwest China's Yunnan Province that a trafficking ring along its border with Myanmar had smuggled drugs to Malaysia, each batch typically weighing more than 100 kg, said a press release from the commission.

Having received intelligence from Chinese police, Malaysian police detained a suspect named Chew Aik Sim, who allegedly purchased the drugs, and confiscated 89.2 kg of meth in January, the statement said.

Following the lead of the dealer, the two countries worked together to investigate the intermediaries who supplied drugs to Chew, which led to the arrest of ten Malaysian suspects and seized 156 kg of meth in July.

Praising the case as an example of efficient bilateral and regional cooperation, the statement said China would like to advance joint law enforcement against cross-border trafficking with Malaysia.
