The police continued their efforts and succeeded in rounding up most of the memders of the gang, including four women and two men who acted as secretaries for these - miscreants.

The kidnapped child was al vered in one of the houses and later returned to his father. Three live bombs and a letter, addressed to Mr. Chen, threatening to murder his son if $40,000 were not forthcoming immediately, were found in another house.
