A mum told how her car was stolen at knifepoint after taking her newborn baby to a post natal check-up. Lauren Mercer was forced to hand over the keys to the hooded robber who targeted her in a GP surgery car park.
As she was picking her baby up out of his pram to place him in his car seat, the man dressed all in black approached. He reportedly said: "Give me your f***ing keys," as she desperately tried to dig them out of her coat pocket, while holding 10-week-old Leo in her arms.
The terrifying incident occurred on Tuesday afternoon (November 1) after Lauren visited her doctor on Mytham Road in Little Lever, Greater Manchester. The 24-year-old told the Manchester Evening News: "At around quarter to five I was coming out of the doctors. I had been for a postnatal check up because my baby is only 10 weeks old.
