Police have broken up a baby-trafficking gang in central China, arrested 28 people and recovered 27 babies, some of them just 10 days old, police and a news report said yesterday.
The gang, based in Henan Province, matched buyers and sellers of babies across an area stretching from China's east coast to the mountain southwest, the Beijing News daily reported.
Thousands of children are believed to be bought or abducted every year in China for sale to families that want more children, a servant or a future bride for an only son.

The latest arrests were carried out July 12 by railway police after an undercover investigation, the report said.
