Ever get that feeling you've forgotten something..?

West Yorkshire Police say they got an urgent call at 8.15am this morning to say a young child had been snatched from a car in Bingley whilst the mum was dropping off her other daughter at school.

It turns out the woman had actually just changed her routine - and already dropped off her younger girl at nursery beforehand.

Police have thanked the many parents and local residents who helped during the incident - posting on facebook "thank you all - it's great to see a community pull together like this."
