It is believed the baby is in the company of 18-year-old Khloe Bornen, who police would like to speak to.
Bornen is described as Caucasian, around 165cm tall, with a proportionate build and brown hair.
Police allege two women were seen taking the baby before putting her into a white Suzuki Liana.
“The car was last seen leaving Charlotte St, Basin Pocket at 2.30pm today, June 13,” a spokesperson said.
The car has been located, however the baby has yet to be found.
Police believe Bornen is the only person to be with the baby now.
