A woman has been charged with child stealing after the alleged abduction of two children west of Brisbane.
Police alleged the woman, known to the children, was seen taking two girls, four and one, and putting them into a car at Fernvale about 9pm Thursday.
They refused to reveal the relationship between the woman and the children.
They were recovered in Beaudesert about 2am after police issued an amber alert.
The 32-year-old Fernvale woman is due to appear in the Ipswich Magistrates Court on February 17 on two counts of child stealing.
* After a corrected release from police, this story has been updated to state that the one-year-old is a girl, not a boy as earlier reported.
