Newcastle detectives have launched a national appeal for information, and are currently searching for a woman in her forties.
Newcastle police are on the hunt for a woman who kidnapped a baby girl
from a prayer session at a shopping complex in KwaZulu-Natal last week,
Zululand Observer reports.
Detective Constable TP Mthimkhulu says members of the Family Violence,
Child Protection and Sexual Offences Unit were called by a frantic young
mother, who had briefly left her seven-month old daughter with a ‘kind
woman’ while she bought a sandwich.
“The mother went to a shopping complex at Osizweni Township to buy
groceries, with her baby,” said SAPS spokesman Colonel Thembeka Mbhele.
“She stopped at a store to listen to a preacher delivering a public
sermon, and a woman approached her, offering to carry her baby while the
mother bought a sandwich.
“When she came back, the woman and the baby girl, named Lungelo – had both disappeared.”
He said a case of kidnapping has been opened.
The kidnapper is described as being in her forties, with a dark complexion.
She was wearing a black leather jacket and a white skirt.
“We are asking that anyone with information regarding the whereabouts of little Lungelo contact us urgently,” said Mbhele.
