The baby was found with his kidnapper a few hours later and is said to be safe.
It turned out that the criminal disguised himself as a pediatrician.
According to foreign media such as Brazilian news media G1 and the Daily Mail, a newborn kidnapping occurred at 11:40 p.m. on the 23rd (local time) at a hospital in Uberlanzia, Minas Gerais, Brazil.
The parents reported that a woman who said she was a pediatrician took her to breastfeed her baby, but she did not return.
But this woman was an outsider, not a doctor.
The kidnapper visited the hospital room of the mother who gave birth by cesarean section at 8 p.m. that day.
The family said the killer acted like other medical staff, such as checking whether the mother's breast milk was coming out properly, and that he was deceived by his fluent speech skills.
The police who were dispatched analyzed CCTV inside and outside the hospital, confirmed that the kidnapper was carrying the newborn baby, putting it in a bag, and leaving the hospital, and pursued his whereabouts.
Fortunately, the police found the newborn baby and the kidnapper about 135 kilometers away.
The police said "The baby is healthy after testing. There were no signs of abuse."
The police are investigating the kidnapper's motives.
Police also suspect the kidnapper was the suspect in the November 2020 killing of a pharmacist in Uberlanzia.
