Birmingham car-jacking: Police find four-week-old baby girl taken in Audi A3

Dozens of officers were involved in the search for the girl and the grey Audi A3 S line ( Google Maps )

A four-week-old baby girl taken during a car-jacking in Birmingham has been found.

West Midlands Police (WMP) said an Audi A3 was stolen while the girl was still in a car seat in the back of the vehicle.

The public was urged to "look out for the child in case the offenders have realised what they have on board and abandoned her".

But police later confirmed she had been left at a health centre and would be reunited with her mother.

Dozens of officers were involved in the search for the girl and the grey Audi A3 S line after the car-jacking in Marie Drive, Acocks Green, in the south of the city just after 4pm on Thursday.

Her mother was taken to hospital after suffering leg injuries in the incident. 

It is believed the car may have been travelling towards Solihull when last sighted.

WMP tweeted: "Mum and baby will be re-united shortly, but we still have officers looking for a grey Audi A3 S line after the car-jacking in #AcocksGreen - have you seen it? Call 101."
