A BABY girl was snatched from her pram while her mum stopped to use a cash machine.
Police are urgently seeking the mystery man who struck outside a Tesco Express in Heysham, Lancashire, in broad daylight.
The woman had been pushing her daughter along the street at 6.30pm on April 13 when she paused to withdraw some money from an ATM.
She momentarily reached under her buggy, and when she looked up she saw a stranger holding her 20-month-old in his arms.
The mum screamed and grabbed her youngster back and the man sped off down an alleyway.
The baby was unhurt, but her mother has been left badly shaken by the "very concerning" incident.
