KUNMING, March 21 (Xinhua) -- Three suspects were captured with over 17 kg of drugs seized from a recent drug trafficking case in southwest China's Yunnan Province, local authorities said Saturday.

After receiving a tip-off on drug trafficking, police in Kunming, the capital city of Yunnan, found 12.83 kg of heroin and 4.52 kg of methamphetamine hidden in the trunk of an off-road vehicle driven by the suspects earlier this month.

The three suspects have been put under criminal detention. Further investigation is underway.
