MONTERREY, Mexico — Police in northern Mexico have arrested two people accused of buying Mexican babies to sell to U.S. couples for a profit, investigators said Wednesday.
Amado Torres, 64, of Harlingen, Texas, and his 25-year-old wife, Maria Isabel Hernandez, are suspected of buying more than a dozen children ages 2 or younger, officials say.
Investigator Oralia Mancha said the child-trafficking ring came to light when a woman came to a police station in Reynosa on Monday to report her granddaughter missing, spotted Torres there and claimed that he had the baby.
Police later arrested Torres and Hernandez after finding them with the baby at a house in nearby Rio Bravo.
