Abducted Hammanskraal baby found on Saturday
A one-month-old Hammanskraal baby that was abducted earlier this week was found on Saturday morning.
A 20-year-old woman was arrested on Saturday morning after she was found with a one-month-old baby boy that was abducted on Wednesday.
Police spokesperson Constable Herman Moremi said the woman was found with the baby around 06:00 at her home in Mandela Village, Hammanskraal.
“Police received information from a member of her family who saw the child.”
This after the baby boy was taken from his mother’s bed while she was sleeping on Wednesday.
The woman alleged that two men had handed her the baby and fled.
The baby was taken to hospital for a check-up and was found to be in good health, Moremi said.
“He was returned to his mother. The suspect was detained at Temba police and will appear at the Moretele Magistrates Court soon on charges of kidnapping.”
