Missing baby found safe in stolen car
A ten-month-old baby boy who went missing in Belfast over the weekend has been found safe and unharmed.
The child, who belongs to a family from west Belfast, was asleep in a black Honda civic car, which was stolen shortly after 10am on Sunday morning. The car had been parked outside the City Cemetery on the Falls Road, where his parents had been visiting a grave.
The stolen car was subsequently spotted in Nansen Street in west Belfast by a member of the public, who found the baby and informed the police. The baby was reunited with his parents while police removed the car for forensic investigation.
A resident of Nansen Street, Pat McIlwee, commented: "It's incredible. To dump the baby in the middle of a street without saying anything to anybody – and just leaving the door and window open – anything could have happened."
