One of the criminals, Cao Yi, 36, from Chongqing municipality in southwest China, was first detected in May 2001. Cao, who sold heroin, had made more than 1.8m yuan (about 220,000 US dollars) by dealing more than 10 kg of heroin between Chongqing and Nanjing in June 2002. The other convict, 35-year-old Ma Jun, from northwest China's Xinjiang Uighur autonomous region, was arrested for dealing heroin on 22 June, 2003.
