mrabet farid's video: Mother s panic as seven-week-old baby snatched in car

This is the moment a frantic mother found her baby sleeping safely in the back seat of the family's car - after it was stolen with the seven-week-old still inside. Louise Waine, 24, was captured on CCTV racing towards the vehicle in a state of panic, after a thief had snatched it and sped through Wigan with her son, Leo Moulsdale, in the back. Leo had an astonishing escape after the car was stolen from under the nose of his father Thomas Moulsdale, also 24, and driven for three miles before being abandoned outside a pub. The terrified parents searched the area until a call came through 15 minutes later to tell them the car had been found with Leo inside unharmed - and he had slept through the drama. Plasterer Mr Moulsdale had left the car running as he nipped out to knock on a door about a job. Seconds later the opportunist thief had jumped behind the wheel and began a three-point turn. Hairdresser Ms Waine said: 'My head was just spinning, I just wanted my baby back. It was cold and dark and icy and I thought that I may never see him again. I kept thinking surely he would not hurt a baby, surely not, but I just didn't know.' Around 15 minutes later, Merseyside Police was informed by an anonymous call from a telephone box of a baby being left in an abandoned car near the Billinge Arms pub in Billinge, three miles away
