SHIJIAZHUANG, June 21 (Xinhua) -- Police in north China's Hebei Province said Thursday that they have apprehended five people for drug trafficking, seizing 21 kg of crystal methamphetamine in Yanjiao town.

Following Li's capture, police later detained another four suspects involved in the drug trafficking gang.
