MORE than 50 Chinese from Shanxi Province have been kidnapped in Myanmar since August, Beijing News reported today.
Two more victims, aged 16 and 19, were reportedly kidnapped last week and the Ministry of Public Security has started investigating the case, said the report, which added that all the victims were young.
Police in Shanxi believe the kidnappers are Chinese from Yuncheng City in the province and that they illegally entered Myanmar, the report said.
An employee of the Chinese Consulate General in Mandalay of Myanmar surnamed Zhao told the newspaper that it was impossible to capture criminals in a foreign country without proper authorization. Such kidnaps started in 2007, but the number of cases increased rapidly afterwards, Zhao was cited as saying.
A Yuncheng policeman told the newspaper the kidnappers were demanding a high ransom.
