A 45-day-old baby was stolen from her mother in the north Colombian city of Santa Marta on Monday, reported Radio Caracol.
The 18-year old mother, Norana Paola Vergara, was at the Family Compensation Fund, when she was deceived by a 40-year old woman.
After being deceived into trusting the women, the mother agreed to copy a few documents in a shop, while the suspect watched the baby girl.
When the young mother returned, the 40-year old woman had vanished with her baby.
