NANCHANG - Police in east China's Jiangxi Province have captured and returned 11 wanted suspects from overseas since "Fox Hunt 2015" began in April, the Jiangxi Provincial Public Security Department announced on Tuesday.

A total of 18 fugitives from Jiangxi have fled to foreign countries including Spain, Canada, and Malaysia, authorities with the department said.

Local police have set up a special team to nab suspects as part of the operation.

In Fox Hunt 2014, 680 fugitives were repatriated to China.
