An 18-month old girl who police mistakenly allowed to be taken by an impostor from a station has been found.
Audrey Kessie Nyanor’s mother, Cynthia Boakye, 36, was arrested on Thursday in Southwark, south London, over alleged immigration offences.
A woman claiming she was a friend of Ms Boakye went to Walworth police station and took the toddler.
The child was found in Harlesden, north London. A woman, 31, has been arrested on suspicion of abduction.
A Met spokesman said officers were called at 1400 GMT by a member of the public and that the toddler and the 31-year-old woman were found 55 minutes later on Harlesden High Street.
The woman remains in police custody at a west London police station.
Another six people were arrested during the investigation. One has been released and the other five are bailed to return to south London police stations in February next year. Continue reading “Search for girl called off as she has been found – Audrey Kessie Nyanor”
