Urgent search launched after woman and four young children ‘forced into Ford Transit’

An urgent manhunt is underway after a woman and four children under the age of seven or bundled into the back of a van.

They were seen being forced into a grey Ford Transit Connect van in the early hours of yesterday morning on Broadway, Pontypool, near Newport, south Wales.

The woman is believed to be in her 20s or 30s and was with four children aged between two and seven.

A picture showing the van drive off shows that it has black bars on its roof and down the side.

Police are looking for witnesses. A spokesman said: ‘A caller reported seeing a woman being forced into a van by a man. She also had four children with her.’

‘Enquiries are continuing to try and locate the van, and the identity of those involved, to ensure everyone’s safety.

‘The woman is described being in her twenties or thirties about 5’5″ tall, with brown hair that was tied up in a bun. The four children are described as being aged between 2 and 7.

‘The man involved was in his 20s or 30s, of a medium build, and was wearing a lime green top.

‘The van is a silver Ford Transit Connect and it had black bars on the top.’
