According to the Ministry of Public Security (MPS), police in 21 provincial regions have uprooted 61 such criminal gangs and rescued 70 deaf and mute people during a recent joint campaign.

The suspects deceived the students from deaf-mute schools via social networks on the pretext of offering job opportunities or going travelling, when in fact the purpose of the approach was to force them to commit crimes such as robbery or burglary, reported Xinhua citing an official statement.
