Indonesian Police Break Up Baby Trafficking Ring, Arrest 12 People

The criminal network, which has allegedly operated since 2023, is believed to have trafficked at least 24 babies, according to a statement from West Java Regional Police. Six babies, all between two and three months old, were rescued during the operation.

The investigation began after a parent reported a child kidnapping. Authorities uncovered the network after one suspect was arrested and confessed to trafficking infants.
