NANNING - A woman in south China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region was caught using her own infant daughter to carry drugs, said local police on Saturday.
Along with the woman, police also nabbed two male drug dealers.
On March 21, 2015, police spotted a suspicious vehicle passing a toll gate in Fangchenggang City. After a search, they seized a yellow metal box hidden on a baby of less than one year. The box contained two bags with 125.2 grams of methamphetamine. They also found more than 300 grams other drugs from elsewhere inside the car, including methamphetamine and barbitone.
According to proceedings at the Intermediate People's Court of Fangchenggang, Liang, the woman, was a drug user. She gave birth to another baby after she was caught and is still on bail.
Huang, the driver, was sentenced to a prison term of ten years by the court and is subject to a fine of 10,000 yuan (about 1,506.7 U.S. dollars). Tang, another man in the car, was also convicted of drug trafficking, sentenced to seven years in prison and fined 8,000 yuan.
