‘Stolen child’ rescued by Western Regional SWAT team

The one-year-old boy who was kidnapped from his mother at the Takoradi Market Circle last week Friday has been found by the Western Regional SWAT Team.

According to a source, he was found in Effiekuma Zongo in Takoradi around 11 pm on Monday.

The woman who kidnapped the child and her accomplice, a man believed to be Togolese, have been arrested for further interrogation and prosecution.

A CCTV camera being used by a cluster of banks around the area captured the woman moving away from the market with the child in her arms.

The incident which happened at about 4:30 pm in front of the Market Circle Post Office was then reported to the Market Circle Police.

The baby has since been sent to the Effia-Nkwanta Regional Hospital for medical examination.
