A 25-year-old woman who was alleged to have kidnapped a child from a Port Elizabeth beach earlier this year has gone on the run, Eastern Cape police said on Tuesday.
"They were waiting for the child's mother. While there, a woman introduced herself as Meagan from Shauderville, struck up a conversation with the grandmother and after a while both women went across to the nearby shopping centre to buy liquor.
"They went back to the beach and waited for the child's mother, who never arrived. The two women stayed on the beach and a while later, Diedericks went back to the shopping centre to buy cigarettes. She took the child with her and never returned," Naidu said."On January 6 2019, Diedericks was arrested in a shack in Victoria Drive in PE," Naidu said.
