A woman has been arrested after snatching a baby from her mother in Potsdam and fleeing to Lower Saxony. The 19-year-old woman had approached the baby’s 35-year-old mother while she was grocery shopping with her three children on Thursday afternoon, police report. The younger woman offered to take care of the mother’s four-month-old baby girl, who was in a carriage, while the mother brought her groceries into her flat. Police eventually found that the 19-year-old had fled to Lower Saxony with the baby - around 250 kilometres away from Potsdam. Several hours later at around 8pm on Thursday, the woman was arrested in Hanover, police reported.
