A 20-year-old Venezuelan babysitter, Dariana Figuera, is charged with child stealing after a seven-month-old infant allegedly disappears from where she was left in her care in Guyana’s North West District. According to reports, she is accused of taking the baby without the mother’s knowledge or permission and travelling with the child to Ogle.
The cases are presented as stemming from a police investigation into the infant’s disappearance from Oronoque, Port Kaituma, on Wednesday, October 28, 2026, and the charge is described as relating to Section 90(a) of the Criminal Law (Offences) Act (Chapter 8:01). Multiple outlets say Figuera is remanded to prison while the matter proceeds.
Across the coverage, outlets consistently identify the accused, the alleged offence, the infant’s age, and the basis of the investigation. They differ mainly in how they describe the allegation—framing it as child stealing or kidnapping—and in the specific movement detail included about travelling to Ogle.
