Rotorua police are on the lookout for a car that was stolen in Rotorua, in broad daylight, with a teenager and child in the back.
A Black 1990 Toyota Celica with registration number XN5772 was stolen from the carpark at the Westbrook netball courts about 3.15 pm yesterday afternoon.
At the time boys, aged 14 and 4, were sleeping in the car when it was stolen.
The older child was legally old enough to be babysitting.
They were let out of the vehicle on the corner of Ford Rd and Bellingham Cres.
Rotorua police Senior Sergeant Nicky Riordan said the children were not hurt physically but were understandably very upset by this incident.
