The police arrested more than 410 suspects in drug-related cases, a 42.2-percent increase year-on-year, and confiscated 31.1 kilograms of drugs, according to a statement of Beijing Public Security Bureau.
The main target of the police was to fight organized drug trafficking, aiming to wipe out the gangs involved from their roots, the statement said.
