Infant Reunited With Grandparents in Chula Vista

The Chula Vista Police Department confirmed a 10-month-old infant taken from her grandparent's house by her biological mother has been safely reunited with her family. 

According to police, the infant's biological mother, Arlene Rodriguez, does not have custody or visitation rights to the baby girl. The infant is living with her grandparents.

Police said Rodriguez entered her parents' home Saturday afternoon, unannounced, and took the baby. She was seen leaving in a 2004 silver BMW 530i.

Rodriguez didn't have a car seat; she was carrying the baby in her lap as the BMW drove away.

California Highway Patrol put out an Endangered Missing Advisory for the baby and were able to locate her.

Rodriguez is now in custody.
