The investigation started after officers in Jiangxi's Pingxiang City were alerted early in May that three Burmese women had been sold in Changping Town of the city's Shangli County five years before.
Police visited the county and confirmed the trafficking report and discovered the three women's identities. Villagers said they bought the women for 15,000 yuan (US$ 2,194.88) each from a broker nicknamed "Luoyazai."
After investigation, police identified "Luoyazai" as a man surnamed Peng and caught him in Pukou Town of Hunan Province's Liying City.
