AMSTERDAM (AP) — A prematurely born baby who was abducted from the
maternity ward of a Paris-region hospital earlier this week has been
found in an Amsterdam hotel, police in the Dutch capital said Friday.
Amsterdam police released few details because the investigation was led
by French officers. They confirmed that the baby was Santiago, the name
released by Paris police Tuesday when they issued an alert with appeals
for information.
“Following an international search warrant, we arrested a man and a
woman in a hotel in the center of Amsterdam today on suspicion of
kidnapping their premature baby,” police said on X. “The baby is
currently in a hospital to receive the care he needs.”

 French authorities said Santiago,
who was 17 days old when he was abducted, needs constant medical
care. It said he has blonde hair and was dressed in white velvet
pajamas and an oversized brown T-shirt when he was taken late Monday
night from a hospital in Paris’ northern suburban region of
Seine-Saint-Denis.
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.
