Police blocked off the area as detectives remained outside.
A Pembroke Pines Fire Rescue truck was at the scene and NBC6 saw someone holding a baby going into the truck before it left.
A woman matching the description of the child's mother was speaking to police before she was placed inside a patrol car.
Investigators had been searching for the baby since she went missing Tuesday and the alert said she was believed to be in the company of her mother.
While officials did not release a description of the suspected car, Miami-Dade Police found a white car that was left outside a hotel there that may be related to the case.
