Across China: Guangdong

Drug deal busted

Four men were caught red-handed drug trafficking by police in Shenzhen, Guangdong province, on Monday, Yangcheng Evening News reported yesterday.

The suspects carried out the drug swap early Monday morning but failed to notice they were being followed by police. When two plainclothes officers approached the car in which the swap was believed to have taken place, one of the suspects tried to assault the officers. After attempting to grab a policeman's gun, the suspect was shot in the shoulder and fell down, while the other three were captured outside the parking lot after they fled.
