An investigation is under way in Ramsgate
following reports a teenage boy snatched a five-month-old baby in a
buggy.
Kent Police have only just released details about the incident,
which happened in Pysons Road, close to the Booker Cash and Carry
store, between 2.15pm and 2.45pm on Wednesday, January 27.
A 16-year-old mum from Broadstairs was pushing her son in the
pram when she was approached by a 16-year-old boy who she knew.
The youngster ran off with the pushchair along Pysons Road
before he was challenged by a man who was able to return the baby
to his mother.
Police are now keen to talk to the passer-by, who is described
as white, tall and in his thirties.
DC Katrina Whitehead from Margate police station said: "This may
have been a prank but we need some more information and we'd really
like to speak to this man, as it’s likely he can provide us with
some further details."
Anyone with information is asked to call DC Whitehead on
