Police seize baby sellers
Print Edition
Police smashed a baby trafficking network after a man in Lingxi Town in east China’s Zhejiang Province was spotted with an infant although no one in his family had been pregnant.
Their suspicions about the 50-year-old, surnamed Zhang, culminated in a raid on his house in April, according to yesterday’s Xiandai Jinbao newspaper, and the seizure of nine suspects.
Zhang is said to have told police he spent 50,000 yuan (US$7,835) buying a 2-month-old boy. He was negotiating with potential buyers when the police broke in, according to the newspaper.
The police investigation later identified a cross-provincial baby trafficking network, with the seizure of 26 suspects, the newspaper said, and the release of 16 infants.
The network, which had spread across Zhejiang and neighboring Fujian Province, was found to have trafficked a total of 28 babies, most of them from southwest China’s Yunnan Province, according to the newspaper’s report.
