A TWO-MONTH-OLD baby girl was snatched away by an unknown individual in the Gweru CBD on Saturday.
The incident happened in the afternoon.
Midlands Police Spokesperson Inspector Emmanuel Mahoko said Faith Jakaza (26) had just finished breast-feeding her daughter when she was snatched away.
“She briefly left the baby on the lap of the baby’s six-year-old sister, going to buy bananas from a nearby vendor.
“On turning back, after a few minutes, the mother discovered the elder daughter no longer had the baby, saying the baby had been snatched away,” he said.
Jakadza is said to have shouted for help while looking for her baby.
“We appeal for any information that can help in locating the culprit and recover the baby.
“On the same note we also advise mothers or persons who have the custody of babies and children to always keep them under close monitoring,” said Insp Mahoko.
