The parents who removed their newborn baby, a very premature baby requiring urgent medical care, from a maternity ward in the Paris region on Monday, still evaded investigators on Wednesday, despite the discovery of their car in Charleroi.
The Audi vehicle, whose photo and French license plate appeared in the search notice issued Tuesday evening in Belgium, was found “around 9:00 a.m.”, according to the Charleroi police. “As it stands, neither the infant nor his parents have been found.” said the Bobigny prosecutor.
“The car was just behind me (along the Chaussée de Fleurus) near a street trash bin. I came back from shopping for the store, and I saw that there was a crowd around a car “, says a witness to the scene. “There were unmarked police cars. I went to park in an adjacent street, and on my way back my wife told me that we had indeed found the car, which had been used to kidnap the baby. I “I was surprised to see this car in this place, for something that was happening in France… The police came to ask me if I had cameras that could have filmed, but they only film the inside of the store.”
