MADRID (AP) - Spain's Interior Ministry says three Romanian nationals have been arrested in a central town on suspicion of buying and selling a 10-month-old baby.
Ministry official Cecilio Vadillo Arroyo says the three include the baby's mother and a married couple who allegedly paid ¤2,000 ($2,650) for the child. Vadillo says the couple allegedly intended to use the baby as an aid in street begging.
The 10-month-old is in the care of regional social services and is in good health.

Vadillo says the three were arrested Thursday in Nava del Rey, 170 kilometers (105 miles) northwest of Madrid. The mother was taken to hospital in the provincial capital of Valladolid where she has given birth to another, premature, child.
