Police have appealed to a mother who has gone missing with her young baby near a motorway, saying their "number one priority" is to keep her "beautiful newborn safe". Constance Marten and Mark Gordon, along with their recently born child, are missing after their vehicle broke down near junction four of the M61, near Bolton, on Thursday night.
The family then walked towards Anchor Lane bridge which links the Highfield and Little Hulton areas. In a statement, Greater Manchester Police (GMP) said evidence suggested that Ms Marten had "very recently given birth and neither her or the baby have been assessed by medical professionals".
Mr Gordon is described as wearing dark clothing while Ms Marten, who has a southern accent, was wearing a burgundy coat. The baby was swaddled.
