A female suspect on the run from police in southwest China has been dubbed the country’s most beautiful criminal after her mugshot went viral on social media.

A wanted poster for Qingchen Jingjing, was released by police in the city of Mianyang in Sichuan province last Tuesday.

She is accused of being part of a criminal gang that scammed money out of customers in bars and tea-houses, according to the notice posted on Weibo.

Her age and occupation have not been confirmed although a former work colleague suggested she was aged around 19.

Two members of the seven-person gang have surrendered since then but Qingchen was still missing, according to a police source quoted in The Beijing News on Sunday.
