Xiamen Public Security Bureau announced they busted a "zombie drug" den that produced methcathinone, a flesh-eating drug that makes people act like zombies.
1.8 tons of semi-finished methcathinone and 1.29 tons of ephedrine were seized during the raid.
Five suspects were arrested. They were discovered when officials noticed that they were buying large amount of chemicals used to produce drug. The police located them in Xinmin Town in Tong’an District.
On April 30, 80 police officers were dispatched for the drug raid.
Methcathinone is also known as "bath salts" or "Miao Miao". It is a psychoactive stimulant drug, which is quite cheap and highly addictive, and has been known to cause users to turn violent.
Rudy Eugene, who authorities suspected had been high on the dangerous new street drug, devoured about 75 percent of a homeless man's face in a cannibalistic attack in 2012.
