Missing mum and dad arrested but newborn baby not found

A mum and dad who went missing with their baby have been arrested but their child has not been found.

Constance Marten and her partner Mark Gordon are in police custody after being arrested in Brighton. The Metropolitan Police said an urgent search operation is underway to find their baby, who has not had any medical attention since birth in early January.

Marten, 35, and Gordon, 48, have been travelling around the UK by taxi since their car was found burning on the M61 in Bolton on January 5. The couple travelled from Bolton to Liverpool, then to Harwich in Essex, then to east London and then to Newhaven in Sussex, where they were seen near the ferry port on January 8.
