A five-month-old baby has been found after an urgent appeal was launched to locate her in Dublin following a car hijacking.
Police received a report of a hijacking of a vehicle – a silver Nissan Qashqai hatchback – from Mountjoy Square, in Dublin at approximately 1.50pm.
Officers said the car “was hijacked by a man who is not known to the baby or her family” and that the baby was in the car when it was taken.
