Major meth ring rooted out in Guangdong raid

A major production base for methamphetamine, commonly known as "ice", has been rooted out in Lufeng, Guangdong province, after police raided a village notorious for illegal drugs production for years.

Boshe village, located in the eastern coastal area in the province, annually produced more than one-third of the ice on the Chinese mainland over the past three years, according to Guo Shaobo, deputy director-general of Guangdong Provincial Department of Public Security.

More than 20 percent of the families in the village were investigated for their involvement in drug production and trafficking, Guo said.
