Brazil police hunt 'Gang of Blondes' kidnappers

[FarCenter]

A gang of women -- described as blonde, bilingual and well educated -- have been taking Brazilian shopping malls by storm, kidnapping female shoppers and maxing out their credit cards, police say.

Over the weekend police in Sao Paulo arrested three members of the so-called "Gang of Blondes," which has been credited with 54 express kidnappings here and in Rio de Janeiro since their crime spree began in 2008.

The arrests include a man that coordinated operations, Brazilian news media reported.

"The group started out by breaking into condominiums, but in 2009 got into the business of express kidnapping," Jorge Carlos Carrasco with the Sao Paulo police Homicide Department told reporters.
