Parked car driven away with child in back seat

The young man was described as white, of slim build, around 5ft 9in (1.75m) tall and about 17 to 20-years-old.

He was wearing a dark top with the hood up and dark bottoms.

Insp Jim Mutter said: “Fortunately the child was not harmed but this was an extremely upsetting experience for the mother and our enquiries are ongoing to trace the youth who was seen driving and exiting the car.

“We are asking anyone in the area at the time to check private CCTV and dash-cam to see if they have captured anything that could assist us.

“We are also particularly keen to speak to two older women who were sitting on a bench nearby as they may have vital information that could assist with our enquiries.”
