Authorities are continuing the search for a four-month-old baby girl who was kidnapped in Chatsworth, south of Durban, on Saturday night.
The incident occurred at an informal settlement on Link Road. According to SAPS spokesperson Robert Netshiunda, two armed men entered the home while the mother and her two children were asleep.
“She heard someone attempting to open the door, and two men entered, one armed with a firearm,” said Netshiunda. “The suspects reportedly gagged her and, at gunpoint, forcefully took her baby and left.”
The South African Police Service has urged anyone with information to assist in the investigation. Those with details are encouraged to contact Detective Slindlile Blose at 078 688 7171.
Efforts to locate the missing child are ongoing.
