Chinese policewomen use skates & high heels to fight crime
In order to combat drunks and pickpockets, a squad of eight roller-blading policewomen has been deployed in the Chinese city of Chengdu in Sichuan province.
The cops get skates on to catch crooks in Tianfu Square, an area known for its drunks and pickpockets, Rex Features reports.
Chen Fengyu, 19, said: “I like watching the policewomen in the Hong Kong TV series very much. So when I saw the advertisement for roller skate police, I had to have a try. It’s so cool.”
Organizer Song Bin added: “It’s efficient, effective and more environmentally friendly than patrolling in cars.”
When not wearing the skates, the squad have been given three-inch high heels “to make them elegant but with authority.”
