Girl rescued after police chase
A three-year-old girl who had allegedly been kidnapped from her home in South Wales has been rescued after a police chase in the early hours of Tuesday.
A police spokesman said a 26-year-old man from South Wales was arrested after his Escort crashed on the A4 between Hungerford and Marlborough.

The man was arrested on suspicion of kidnap and driving with excess alcohol.

The child was taken by helicopter to Swindon's Great Western Hospital where she was treated for minor injuries.

She has now been reunited with her parents.

'Failed to stop'

Police say they first spotted a grey Ford Escort in Swindon where it drove through a red light at the Blagrove roundabout.

Officers pursued the car along the M4 for about four miles where it left at junction 15 before heading for 10 miles down the A4 towards Hungerford where it crashed.

Police are appealing for anyone who saw a grey L-registration Ford Escort Ghia driving along the M4 eastbound, or in west Swindon around junction 16, late last night or shortly after midnight, to contact them.

The man has now been handed over to South Wales Police. "

Seems like it was just chance that she was found. So glad she is safe.

i feel sick, my dd is 3yrs old, how can anyone even begin to think of hurting someone like that. poor little girl.

Hulababy · 04/01/2006 13:04

My only positicve thoughts now are that at least she is back safe with her family, and most probably saved from even more, no doubt much worse things from happening to her.

So sad. Same age as DD. these things really do get to me now.

It made my blood run cold, what an absolutely horrendous thing to happen to a baby girl.
My dd is 3 it makes me want to kill the bastards.
That poor girl and then to be so badly injured in the crash too
The cops will be giving him hell in custody with any luck.

puff · 04/01/2006 13:06

If it was a lone person it would be horrific enough, but a group of 3 men - it seems so planned and calculated

coppertop · 04/01/2006 13:10

It's so sick the way certain people seem to think children are there to be used like this. First there was the little 6yr-old girl and now this.

Hulababy · 04/01/2006 13:13

Just been on the news. A 24yo man was arrested at the scene. Then today a 36yo and a 47yo man have also been arrested. All on suspicion of kidnap and rape.

what a dreadful start to this year

Hulababy · 04/01/2006 13:25

And it looks like that 11 children now died in the collapsed ice rink in Gernamny

Seem to feel these things all the more now I'm a mum myself. My dd is also 3. Feel sick, poor little thing!

TIREDofwrappingpressiesEMMA · 04/01/2006 13:33

im a bit suspicous ( as always! ) why wasnt she reported as missing if she was kidnapped?

could it be family? how awful if so.

just think its strange that nobody knew of an abducted 3 yr old girl until after she had been found, especially as she had been missing overnight.

Mascaraohara · 04/01/2006 13:59

Was she not reported as missing then?

Hulababy · 04/01/2006 14:02

Do we know she wasn't reported earlier? I suspect she might have been but that it wouldn't have it the news/media before she was then found - as it happened at night.
