There were emotional scenes last night when police handed over 3-month-old Yolande Yobe back to her parents at the police station on the airport premises.

Western Cape detectives arrested a 29-year-old woman at Amersfoot in Mpumalanga yesterday afternoon, according to the police’s Elliot Sinyangana.

The baby was reported missing from her home in Makaza in Khayelitsha last week Thursday.

It was believed that the suspect visited the mother and the baby and posed as a social worker. The impostor took Yolanda to a nearby shop for a cooldrink, but never came back.

The suspect will return to Cape Town this afternoon.
