A manhunt is underway for a 17-day-old baby who abducted from the maternity ward of a Paris-region hospital in France, with his parents identified as the chief suspects.
Authorities are appealing widely for information on the disappearance of baby Santiago, who they believe was snatched from the hospital hidden in a handbag.
The prematurely-born child, missing from Seine-Saint-Denis since Monday night, needs ‘constant medical care’, they warn.
Officers said Santiago has blond hair and was dressed in white velvet pyjamas and an oversized brown T-shirt when he was abducted.
The police alert identified the baby’s 23-year-old father and 25-year-old mother as the only suspects and included photos of them both.
They say the parents disappeared on Monday evening between 11pm and 11:30pm, before the kidnapping alert was raised early Tuesday.
