POLICE are extending a campaign targeting gangs that force children from the northwestern Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region to beg and steal across the country, as the crackdown has helped free 1,624 children.
Last April, police authorities launched the campaign to address the growing problem.
Children were being brought to cities and pressurized into pickpocketing and begging.
Zhao Peixin, a senior police official from Xinjiang, said yesterday that the Ministry of Public Security has allowed the campaign, originally scheduled to wind down last December, to continue until the end of May to "curb the crime."
He said children who were disobedient were beaten, sometimes to death, by gangs.
In last year's campaign, police arrested 1,630 suspects and busted 227 rings.
