A 12-year-old girl has confessed to Monday's kidnapping of a three-month old baby in the town of Varkaus, eastern Finland.

The baby was snatched from his stroller as he slept outside. Officers found him covered in snow three hours after his abduction.

Investigations and tips from the public led police to question the under-age suspect whose case is now being handled by child welfare authorities.

Earlier this week, police said that they were investigating the incident as a case of attempted homicide.
