A gang of 13, who allegedly carried out more than 160 robberies in seven provinces over a three-year period, has been arrested in Taihe county, Anhui province.

Police said gang members riding motorcycles would attack mostly women, snatching their handbags and then riding off.

Since September 2005, the gang had robbed cash, necklaces, and mobile phones.

The total value was put at about 600,000 yuan ($88,000).
