A FOUR-MONTH investigation helped police rescue five kidnapped children and apprehend 13 suspected abductors, the Yueyang Public Security Bureau in Hubei Province said yesterday.
All five, including one girl, are from migrant workers' families.
The exact dates of all the rescues weren't given, but the final child was freed on Saturday, police said.
The five were among several children aged two to three years who were kidnapped in broad daylight by motorcyclists in September, causing fear among local people.
Police said they don't know exactly how many children were snatched.
The Yueyang police set up three investigation teams. The officers crossed seven provinces, including Hubei, Fujian and Yunnan, in efforts to rescue the children.
Police made their first arrest on December 31, when they apprehended a 21-year-old male suspect. They caught 12 alleged accomplices between January 5 and Saturday.
