Rotorua police are on the lookout for a car that was stolen in Rotorua with two children 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 two children were sleeping in the car when it was stolen.

Police said one of the children was legally old enough to be babysitting. It is not known how old the other child was.

They were let out of the vehicle on the corner of Ford Rd and Bellingham Cres.

The children were not hurt physically but were understandably very upset by this incident.

The offender is described as male Maori, skinny build in his 20s or 30s.

The vest also had a patch on the back of it.

Police are asking anyone who sees this vehicle to phone 111 immediately.
