Four young people in Quebec are being hailed as heroes after they helped find a baby stolen from a hospital in Trois-Rivieres a day after she was born SIA reports.
Charlene Plante said she recognised the woman in the suspect photo released by Quebec police.
Police had issued an alert on Monday night with a photo of the suspect, who was dressed as a nurse.
The four friends were already searching for the baby when one saw the photo on social media and recognised the woman.
They went to the suspect's home and called police when they saw the car described in the alert.
Quebec police said the suspect, a woman in her 20s, was in police custody in hospital. The baby was returned to her parents within three hours of the alert.
The baby's mother and father, Melissa McMahon and Simon Boisclair, posted a Facebook photo and message on Tuesday thanking police officials, media and anyone who shared the photo for helping find their child.
Ms McMahon praised "four marvellous people, whom we had the chance to meet, who identified this woman thanks to Facebook".
