Hunt for ‘two men who tried to snatch four-month-old baby from her pushchair’ on walk with mum | The Sun
A HUNT is underway for two men who tried to snatch four-month-old baby from her pushchair.
A woman was walking with her child on Evering Avenue in Poole, Bournemouth, when she was approached by two men in a white van about 3pm on Friday.
The men got out of their vehicle, grabbed at the pushchair and tried to take the baby from it.
To protect her child, the mum kicked out at one of the men which prompted them to flee, the Bournemouth Echo reported.
One of the men is described as white, six feet two inches tall, aged in his 30s and of medium build with short dark brown hair.
He was wearing a black vest, black trousers and black trainers and had a tattoo on his right hand, according to police.
