The baby’s mother had left three children in her unlocked Renault Scenic while she made a delivery in Tiverton in Devon at 11.55am on Saturday. Her daughter stood outside the vehicle and the woman’s five-year-old nephew and 14-month-old son remained in the back. But as they waited for the mother to return, a thief opened the rear door of the car and pulled the nephew out. The man, in his 40s, then drove the vehicle through a series of one-way streets before returning to the original location, Kings Street. He removed the child seat with the boy and dumped it on the pavement telling passers-by that someone had abandoned a baby. The suspect jumped back into the car and drove off. A spokesman for Devon and Cornwall Police said the vehicle had not been found.
