China police seize gang of pregnant women
Police in Hangzhou in Eastern China have detained a gang of pregnant women engaged in stealing.
The group included 46 women, aged between 20 and 40, all of them expecting.
The women said in court that being in expectance helped mislead law enforcers and win the leniency of police officials.
The women committed about 400 thefts a month and the theft rate in the city dropped dramatically after their arrest, the Voice of Russia reported.
