Toddler kidnapped from Amsterdam home

A 2.5 year old girl was abducted from a home in Amsterdam on Thursday morning. The police are worried that she may have been taken abroad. According to the police. 2.5 year old Insiya Hemani was taken without permission. She was wearing a white onesie with a pink imprint of the brand Petit Bateu and a white diaper. The little girl has brown hair and brown eyes. The police ask that anyone with any information about this toddler's whereabouts call them at once. A neighbor told AT5 that he tried to prevent men from taking her out of a home in the Watergraafsmeer neighborhood. He managed to overpower one of them, but could not prevent two or three others from taking Insiya. One man was arrested, according to the broadcaster. Though the police could not confirm the arrest to the Telegraaf.
