As per the details, the accused, Sushana Greenfield approached the infant’s mother, Christina Blake, who was in a wheelchair. She asked the mother to hand over the child so that she could take care of the baby. 

According to reports, the mother had gone to the hospital for treatment and after the treatment was completed, the child was with the mother while the father had gone to buy some food items.

Thereafter, Greenfield refused to return the baby back to her mother and left with Kimoya Robe. The mother of the infant tried to stop that lady but she left with the baby and did not come back. 

As soon as the officers received the news, they acted on the information immediately and went to North Humber Land Lane, Kingston. On reaching there, they found both the victim and the little baby girl and took action against the accused by arresting her. 

The baby was reported to be found in the community of Dunkirk in East Kingston. Moreover, the date for the court hearing has been finalised, and soon, strict action will be taken against the lady for the offence of stealing the child.
