| Other police units have been known to identify their suspects by drawing numbers on their arms. |
The police officers used marker pens to draw ticks on the chests of prostitutes, while their managers were marked with crosses on the forehead.
According to the Chinese daily, this was done to aid the police in their investigation procedures and prevent the prostitutes from escaping.
The pale complexions of the prostitutes made the drawings clearer.
This is not an isolated incident. Another police unit allegedly labeled their suspects by writing numbers on their arms.
