The fugitive named Lin Shiliu for China's major baby trafficking case was arrested in Changting County of east China's Fujian Province on Sunday and the 53 trafficked baby boys have all been found.
A hundred and ten suspects involved in the case have been arrested, with four at large and five escaped from detention, said the local public security bureau.
The criminal gang engaged in baby trafficking bought baby boys at the price ranging from 2000 yuan (US$240) to 4000 yuan (US$480) in Yanjin County of southwest China's Yunnan Province and hired ten women from Yunnan to send these baby boys to Changting. The baby boys were sold at 15,000 yuan (US$1,810) to 18,000 yuan (US$2,180). Up to 53 baby boys were trafficked to Changting by the gang.
Policemen from Yanjin and Changting worked together in the past six months and found the last two trafficked baby boys of the 53 Wednesday. The case is still under investigation.
