Debt collectors take woman’s baby as collateral
Pair of Russian debt collectors is accused of taking a woman’s baby as collateral after she failed to pay back a loan, state media reported on Monday.
The female debt collectors allegedly abducted the 10-month-old girl on Sunday while demanding money
at the mother’s home in a suburb of Russia’s second-largest city, St Petersburg.
“The mother, 40, had failed to pay back the loan because of a lack of funds,’’ a police representative
said in comments carried by state news agency TASS.
The report said that the debt collectors later brought the baby to a police station and the child has been returned to the parents.
Report says an investigation is under way.
