Beijing police have cracked down on a pick-pocket gang of 27 suspects from Hebei province.
All the suspects were arrested since March by Beijing police.
The group is described as a "blade gang", meaning that the thieves exclusively used blades from Japan to cut passengers' pockets and steal wallets, mostly on double-decker buses.
