- Published
A woman has been arrested after a missing newborn baby and three-year-old girl were found.
The 31-year-old was held after attending an east London police station, the Metropolitan Police said.
The boy and girl were located at an address in Harwich, Essex, on Sunday and taken to hospital as a precaution.
It comes after a search for Jamie-Leigh Kelly, 31, who left a family assessment centre in north-west London with her children on Tuesday.
The Met said it was "no longer appealing for information about the whereabouts of Jamie-Leigh Kelly".
The arrested woman was also taken to hospital for precautionary checks.
Police said a 63-year-old woman was also arrested at the address in Harwich on suspicion of child abduction, assisting an offender and perverting the course of justice.
She remains in custody at an east London police station.
Earlier, police said two people from Dagenham, east London, have been charged as part of the investigation.
Ashley Hawkins, 52, and Jordan Hardy, 30, are due to appear at Southend Magistrates' Court on Monday. They have been charged with two counts of child abduction.
