4 women raped and robbed in Beijing by gang who pulled them into van

FIVE men have been indicted in attacks on four women who were targeted while walking alone at night, dragged into a minivan and robbed — and some of whom were raped.

The indictment by Beijing prosecutors cited attacks that occurred over seven days in January, local TV news reported.

The ring, led by a 20-year-old Hebei native surnamed Li, stole a minivan in Chaoyang District.

Between January 7 and January 15, they robbed mobile phones and cash totaling 20,000 yuan (US$3,294) from four women. Some of the victims were raped, said prosecutor Sun Yingfei.

Police caught them on January 21 after receiving reports.

They are being charged with theft, robbery and rape, the news reported.
