20 Jun
Summary
- A four-year-old boy was taken from a park near a fish pond.
- The suspect is described as a black male in his late teens.
- Police are reviewing CCTV and appealing for witnesses.
A terrifying incident unfolded yesterday around 3 PM in Haden Hill Park, Cradley Heath, when a four-year-old boy was abducted while playing near a fish pond. His mother was attending to her baby at the time of the abduction.
Fortunately, the child was discovered safe in nearby woodland shortly after vanishing. West Midlands Police have since launched a manhunt for a suspect described as a black male in his late teens. He is noted as being short in height, with curled hair, clean-shaven, and dressed entirely in black clothing.
Authorities are treating this as an isolated incident but acknowledge the community's concern. Detectives are actively studying CCTV footage and appealing to the public for any information or mobile footage that could help identify the suspected kidnapper.
