Police in China have rescued 64 trafficked babies in raids on six trafficking gangs, the ministry of public security said on Wednesday.
The ministry planned the raids since the end of last year, and coordinated with its local functionaries in Hebei, Shanxi, Shandong, Henan, Sichuan and Shaanxi provinces to crack down on the gangs. Over 170 suspects were apprehended, Xinhua reported.
Some traffickers, instead of trafficking babies from one provine to another, used to take pregnant women to the buyers' location and sell their newborns there, the statement said.
