Police in Nanjing, east China's Jiangsu Province, have nabbed 47 suspects over human trafficking and rescued 40 babies, said senior officers with the Nanjing railway police office on Friday.
A group of four women each holding a baby in arms arouse police suspicion on May 24 on a train from Kunming, capital of southwest China's Yunnan Province, to Nanjing and were detained.
The women, including one surnamed Lang, confessed they bought the babies in Kunming with the help of two suspects surnamed Dao and Ding and had planned to sell them to a suspect surnamed Shen in east China's Shandong Province.
The Nanjing railway police set up a special team of more than 10 policemen to investigate the case.
The team arrived in Yunnan on May 27 and arrested Dao, Ding and seven other suspects. The suspect surnamed Shen was later arrested in Shandong.
Investigations found that the gang of human traders headed by Shen and Lang have bought 27 new-borne babies in Yunnan during 16 trips and then sold them in Shandong.
Lang was responsible for the transportation of babies from Yunnan to Shandong, while Shen, with help of 10 human traders in Shandong, was in charge of selling the babies.
Forty out of more than 60 babies who were trafficked by the gang have been rescued by police so far, while police were trying to find the others.
