A 32-year-old foreign national has been tracked down and arrested in South Africa 17 hours after she dumped her newborn baby near the manhole of a stormwater drain.
The baby was hanging on the edge of a manhole leading to a two meter drop into a storm water drain. The child was rescued and expedited to a government hospital.
On Sunday night, February 9, the RUSA Operations Center received an anonymous tip-off from a medical facility reporting that the picture of the child that was circulated was similar to a baby that was delivered via caesarean section.
Following up on this information and other several leads Reaction Officers began tracking the mother.
On Monday morning, Reaction Officers established the identity of the woman. It was reported that she is a foreign national who moved to South Africa from the Capital City of Maseru in Lesotho two (2) years ago.
