Malaysian Police Catch Local 'Midget Gang'

Malaysian police detained an eight-member gang of small-sized robbers dubbed the "midget gang", who were accused of being responsible for more than 14 break-ins over the past three months.

And as the name says, all the gang members, aged between 14 and 23 years, were diminutive.

Some of them who were less than 5 feet tall would be picked to squeeze through small openings into the houses they robbed in central Malaysia.

Gang members confessed to their crimes when they were detained for questioning.

The arrests came after residents in a housing area alerted police upon noticing the group loitering suspiciously in a field near their homes.
