The St. James police are seeking the public’s assistance in locating a baby girl and a woman suspected of stealing her from the parking lot of the Cornwall Regional Hospital yesterday (Jan 4).

The baby is three weeks old, of brown complexion and was wearing a pink outfit with a pair of pink and black socks, at the time she was taken.

The female suspect is of brown complexion, medium build and is about 168 cm, or 5 feet 6 inches tall.

She was wearing a wig and a multi-coloured dress, at the time of the kidnapping.

Reports are that the mother of the child was at the facility for an appointment when she was allegedly befriended by the suspect.

About 1:50 p.m., they both left the pharmacy at the hospital and ventured into the parking lot.

The child’s mother reportedly left the baby in the care of the suspect to use the restroom and upon her return, neither her child nor the woman was seen.

The police were summoned and an investigation commenced.

Persons with information about the child and the suspect are being asked to contact the Montego Bay police at (876) 979-8452, police 119 emergency number or the nearest police station.
