China's Ministry of Public Security and the US Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) have cracked four major drug cases in 2017, the ministry said.

In March, Chinese Police and the DEA shared information on a ketamine smuggling case with four suspects arrested in China and 13 in the US, Xinhua news agency reported.

Police seized nearly 280 kg of various drugs and about a million USD.

The Chinese Police have acted against transnational traffickers following information from the DEA since May. Over 90 kg of cocaine bound for Australia was seized and nine suspects arrested.
