Police have made an appeal for witnesses following the theft of a vehicle in Warrenpoint on Thursday, 11th November last year (2010).
They are keen to speak to these people (photos available directly from the PSNI) as they think they may be able to help with their enquiries.
Shortly after 9.30pm, a grey coloured BMW was stolen from the forecourt of a filling station on the Newry Road in Warrenpoint.
The female driver had gone into the shop and left her two children, a 14 year old boy and seven month old girl, in the BMW car when it was stolen by a male believed to be in his early twenties.
The children were found a short time later nearby along the side of the Narrow Water Road unharmed. A member of the public brought them back to the shop and they were reunited with their mother.
The BMW car was found in the Dundalk area on Friday 12th November.
Police are appealing for anyone who may have been in the area at the time and witnessed the incident. They are also keen to speak to anyone who was at the filling station and noticed a blue Vauxall Vectra car with a number of males on board at around 9.30pm on the evening of the theft.
Anyone with information is asked to contact CID at Newry on 0845 600 8000, or information can be passed anonymously to the Crimestoppers number on 0800 555 111
