Bail Set for Woman Accused of Kidnapping Toddler

Child found safe after disappearing from CVS Pharmacy

A judge on Wednesday set bail at $750,000 for a Chicago woman charged with trying to kidnap a 3-year-old girl from a store on the city's Northwest Side.

Jeannette Roldan,  44,  was charged Tuesday with aggravated kidnapping for attempting to kidnap a 3-year-old girl from a Northwest Side pharmacy Monday, police said.

Sana Patel walked out of a CVS Pharmacy, at 3311 N. Pulaski Rd., about 2:30 p.m.  The girl had been playing inside by the doors of the store while family members shopped. A security camera showed a woman talking with the girl, and then leaving the store with her, police said.  The girl was found after a seven-hour search.

Jeanette Roldan, of the 3900 block of West Wellington Avenue, was charged Tuesday with aggravated kidnapping of a child under 13, according to police. She will appear for a bond hearing Wednesday at 9 a.m.

Police said Roldan lives in the same northwest side neighborhood as the store.

Sana was safely found in an alley near North Kostner and West Wellington avenues about 9:20 p.m. after a call was received from a citizen, according to police News Affairs Officer John Mirabelli.

After being found, Sana was taken to Children’s Memorial Hospital for observation.

"She appears to be OK," said Mirabelli.
