A desperate hunt is underway for a couple who have disappeared with their one-year-old baby.
Jurian and Brisilda Baxhia are thought to be somewhere in the north of England with their baby and police have issued an urgent appeal to try and locate them.
Durham Police have said that they believe the baby could have an “undiagnosed medical condition”.
The couple and their child have not been seen since they were at Sheffield Children’s Hospital in March earlier this year.
The family are believed to have connections in the northeast of England as well as South Yorkshire and Lincolnshire.
