UK news: Thief steals car with two-year-old toddler in the backseat
Police are appealing for witnesses after a car was stolen with a toddler in the backseat. A two-year-old girl was still in the vehicle when it was driven off by a thief in County Durham.
The engine of the Vauxhall was still running while one member of the family stood by the car door and others took items inside. The suspect vehicle then reversed back along the street to pull alongside the Vauxhall and a man, dressed in a blue hooded jacket and black joggers, jumped out and climbed into the driver’s seat, with the two-year-old strapped into a car seat in the rear.
He then took off at speed as the distressed family tried to stop him. The Vectra was discovered about three miles away around Sherburn Beck, near Ludworth. Detective Inspector Malcolm Bell, of Durham Constabulary, said: “This has been an extremely distressing incident for the family, who were terrified for the welfare of their child. We are appealing to anyone who may have seen this car being stolen or abandoned to come forward.
