Chinese police have arrested more than 23,000 people in a month-long nationwide crackdown on crime and have plans to arrest more, a state-run newspaper said today.
Those detained since September 20 include suspects in bombings, murders, kidnappings and robberies, the newspaper said.
Nearly 1,300 people, some of them escaped convicts, voluntarily surrendered to police, the newspaper said. One man arrested in the northern port city of Tianjin is suspected of killing his wife and nephew, it said.
