With the help of helicopters and speed boats, authorities targeted Boshe village, which has supplied over a third of crystal meth nationwide in the past three years, the provincial public security department said in a statement late on Thursday. More than 20 percent of households in Boshe, which is part of the southeastern city of Lufeng, are directly involved in or have a stake in drug production and trafficking rings, it added. Local media reported that village officials were among those arrested in the dawn raid last Sunday, although the security department statement gave no such details.</p><br clear="all"/>
