Police in Greater Manchester are searching for a couple and their baby who went missing after their car broke down.

Constance Martin and Mark Gordon are missing with their baby after their car broke down near Junction 4 of the M61 motorway, near Farnworth, Bolton, on Thursday evening.

Martine is believed to have recently given birth and neither she nor the baby have been assessed by medical professionals, according to Greater Manchester Police (GMP).

GMP said the family left the car and the highway safely – walking to the Anchor Lane Bridge, which connects the Highfield and Little Houlton areas.

Mark was dressed in dark clothes and Constance, who had a southern accent, was wearing a burgundy trench coat. GMP said the newborn was “swaddled”.

Tch Supt Michaela Kerr, Head of the Global Protection Monitoring Programme, said: “As a mother, I would like to make a direct appeal to Constance. Constance, I know this is a very difficult time for you and you are likely feeling scared but I promise you our first priority is the same as yours – to keep your family safe. For the safety of your beautiful new baby.

“As you know, it is really important that you and your baby be evaluated by medical professionals as soon as possible, so please call the emergency services or head to the nearest hospital, wherever that may be.

The officer added: ‘I would also like to appeal to members of the public – not just in Bolton but across Greater Manchester and beyond. If you have any information on the whereabouts of this family, please do nothing more than call the emergency services. The GMP can be contacted via Live Chat on our website on the web or 999. Even the tiniest of details can help us keep this mother and child safe.”
