Police are appealing for witnesses to come forward after a car was stolen with a two-year-old girl inside.
The Volvo was stolen from Long Thorpe Lane, Lofthouse, just before 8.30pm on Wednesday (August 5).
Within 15 minutes of the report, the police found the car near Woodlesford Lock, and the child was returned to her family safely.

They believe the Volvo, which has a ‘58’ plate, was travelling at excessive speed. It passed through Carlton, Rothwell and Woodlesford via Homsley Lane.
Police believe it was travelling in convoy with a blue Citroen Berlingo, and they have released a picture of that vehicle.
