Tyttövauva siepattu/Australia
Hyvin loppui
A WOMAN who snatched a three-day-old baby girl from a Perth maternity hospital was caught by police on a bus heading for Kalgoorlie, 500km away.
Tonight baby Courtney had been reunited with her mother while her 31-year-old alleged kidnapper, who it's suspected may have recently lost a baby of her own, was being questioned by police.
The abduction of the newborn baby has prompted a review of security at Perth hospitals, although Western Australia's Attorney-General Jim McGinty says they cannot be turned into prisons.
Courtney was snatched from King Edward Memorial Hospital at about 6.15pm (WDT) last night.
The 31-year-old woman walked into the hospital and asked the mother if she could take a picture of the baby, police said.
When the mother went out of the room, the woman allegedly took the opportunity to make off with the child, they said.
Police used the hospital's CCTV footage to identify the woman.
Following a tip-off from the public they stopped a bus in Northam, 100km east of Perth, as it was heading towards Kalgoorlie.
The woman was on board with Courtney, who was safe and well.
A paediatric team was sent from Perth to return the baby to her mother.
Mr McGinty, who is also health minister, said the incident was "every mother's worst nightmare".
"The woman who abducted the baby said she gave birth to the baby, it was her baby," Mr McGinty said.
"It appears there might have been some sort of mental disturbance."
No charges had been laid late today.
Outside the hospital the mother's sister-in-law, Loretta Miller, said it had been a scary night and the family was thankful to police.
"I don't know why she took the baby, she probably has some problems of her own, but that doesn't give her any right to take someone else's baby," Ms Miller said.
King Edward Memorial Hospital said it was reviewing its security procedures.
North Metropolitan Area Health Service chief executive David Russell-Weisz said the hospital was locked down every night after 9pm, but before that relatives could come and go as they please.
"We have security measures to prevent this from happening and it is a very rare occurrence, but we cannot make the hospital 100 per cent secure, Mr Russell-Weisz said.
"All babies have a tag on their arm and leg.
"In view of what happened last night, we will review security arrangements here, we will see what we can do better."
Mr McGinty said while security would be reviewed, hospitals still needed to be a place where families could move freely around.
"You can't run a maternity hospital like a prison, with everything locked down, with total security there."
Hospital security was overhauled after an attempted baby abduction at another Perth hospital five years ago.
Electronic baby monitoring devices are currently being trialled by the health department.
