Frumious Bandersnatch
A former Chinese teacher who quit his job and started making crystal meth at home has been arrested in southern China.
The police seized a total of 70 lbs of meth, 408 lbs of toxic chemicals as well as an extensive range of production tools at his flat in the city of Nanning, Guangxi province, on September 28, reported People's Daily Online.
The suspect, only identified by his surname Lu, left his job in 2012 and became addicted to drugs. He began making meth from early 2015 to support his addiction.
His sophisticated meth production only came to light after the arrest of three drug dealers in March this year in Hechi city - about 170 miles away from Lu's flat.
In addition to the testimonies by the three apprehended dealers, the police found that most of the confiscated drugs in their province came from the same source, which was Mr. Lu.
However, the investigation was made difficult because all transactions were done through Tencent QQ, a Chinese online instant messaging platform.
Fortunately, through tracing original posts between the former teacher and the drug dealers, the police tracked down Lu's home address and dispatched a task force to follow Lu's every move.
On September 28th, after six months of extensive investigation, police broke into Lu's apartment and arrested the 35-year-old man.
One of the officers in the task force told People's Daily: 'It was a shocking scene! The apartment had the most extensive utensils and raw materials for meth production I have seen in my career.'
Chemicals, test tubes and other equipment, including a high pressure cooker filled his three-bedroom flat, which was approximately 1,300 square feet.
Lu told the police: 'I have been producing meth here for months but my neighbours had no idea what I was doing.'
According to Guangxi police authorities, Lu's arrest also led to a crackdown of a massive inter-provincial drug trafficking network.
The case is under further investigation.

Really wonder how he slept in that apartment with all the fumes floating around?
