The intruder, a 45-year-old female resident of Osoyoos, was arrested at 1:10 p.m., and is in custody. She will appear in Penticton court on Friday afternoon.
An Osoyoos resident believes an intruder was trying to kidnap her baby.
The woman, who did not wish to be identified for safety reasons, said the incident happened on Wednesday when the intruder - a woman - knocked on her door.
The resident said she refused to answer the door.
The resident said the woman then barged into her house, asking to see the resident's newborn.
The resident, holding her seven-week-old baby, said the woman was told to leave.
She said the woman closed the door, but suddenly barged in, waving a knife.
