NATIONAL NEWS - Police in Ekurhuleni North Cluster have warned residents on the crime of child abduction, Kempton Express reports.

Captain Manyadza Ralidzhivha, SAPS communications officer, said on February 27 at about 9am, a 25-year-old woman took her 19-day-old premature baby to Tembisa Hospital for a check-up.

“When she left the hospital, a white vehicle stopped next to her.

“There were two women and a man in the car. The suspects asked her where she was going and she told them she was going to Winnie Mandela Zone Four. They then offered her a lift to her destination.

“The suspects drove with her and stopped at a spaza shop and bought some cold drinks. They drove with her until they left her at an unknown place. The suspects drove away with her child,” Ralidzhivha explained.

“She went to seek help. The woman met a security officer who took her to Mondeor Police Station in Johannesburg. The Mondeor police opened a case of abduction and immediately brought her to Tembisa Police Station,” said Ralidzhivha.
