Parents' terror as car stolen with two-year-old child still inside
A grey Volvo XC90 was stolen in Lofthouse, West Yorkshire, while a two-year-old child was inside. The vehicle was reportedly driven at excessive speed through Carlton, Rothwell and Woodlesford before being abandoned at Woodlesford Lock roughly 15 minutes later; the child was found safe and well. West Yorkshire Police are appealing for witnesses, dashcam footage and information about a blue Citroen Berlingo believed to have travelled in convoy with the Volvo.
