In an interview with the reporter, the policeman who handled the cases said according to the law and regulations in China, they shouldn’t arrest the women who are in the period of pregnancy or lactation. Instead, they could offer bail and organize a pending trial or handle it another way. In the course of handling the cases, there is no way to imprison those pregnant thieves once they get caught. “After all, electric bike theft is a small case rather than the major one like murder. The house of detention doesn’t take the pregnant women, for it will cause serious trouble if something happens,” he added. Therefore, most pregnant women would be subjected by the police station to administrative detention or the bail and pending trial rather than punishment. Either a guarantor or money is needed if you accept the bail and the pending trial, but if the pregnant women insist they have no money or find no one to vouch for them, the police station will have no choice but to release them.
