The two kidnappers identified as Lu and Xie of Fujian province of China had planned to abduct someone to pay off their gambling debts and on March 9, they kidnapped an 11-year-old from Taizhou in Zhejiang province who was walking alone on the streets.

The duo, reportedly, spent around 10,000 yuan (1,633 US dollars) for transportation, accommodation and other tools including masks for the kidnapping and they had planned to demand 1 million yuan (1, 63,353 US dollars) in ransom from the victim's family.

Police authorities, later, arrested the accused from their hometown and they have been sentenced to four and five years jail term for their crime by the Jiaojiang District People's court.
