Deliverymen rewarded for fighting drug crimes

Public security organs gave rewards totaling over 800,000 yuan ($125,800) to 125 delivery workers around China for their assistance in fighting drug-related crimes committed via express delivery services in the final four months of last year.

Express delivery businesses have become more aware of fulfilling their social responsibilities in drug control, and delivery people have become more enthusiastic in identifying, investigating and reporting such crimes, the Ministry of Public Security said.

In October, a deliveryman in Guangzhou, Guangdong province, was awarded 185,000 yuan for providing a tip that led to a drug-related arrest.
