Yahoo! News - Elderly woman nabbed in South Africa for stealing baby 27 years ago Fri Mar 28, 1:48 PM ET
JOHANNESBURG (AFP) - A 70-year-old woman was arrested in South Africa for stealing a two-week-old baby 27 years ago, police spokeswoman Annaline Prinsloo said.
The victim, now a grown man in his late 20s, discovered at the age of 13 that he had been stolen as a baby, but only recently reported the matter to the police.
The woman was arrested in the township of Kathlehong east of Johannesburg Friday morning, Prinsloo said.
She told the police that an unknown woman shoved the baby in her arms while she was walking down a street in a Johannesburg suburb in 1975, the SAPA news agency reported.
Prinsloo said the police were still trying to establish if the mother of the child had laid a complaint at the time.
