Can you help us trace a man, woman and child seen in Swadlincote?

We’re appealing for information and help to trace a man, woman and small child due to reports around concerns for their safety in Swadlincote.

They were seen near to a zebra crossing on Belmont Street, near to Belmont Primary School, at around 10.25am this morning, Thursday 23 May.

The man and woman were speaking to each other for a short time, and the man picked up the child and they both appeared to jog down the road towards McDonalds.

There is concern that the woman and child may have been distressed.

Officers have been carrying out local enquiries to try and establish the circumstances and check that they are safe and well.

It is not known whether any offences have taken place and we would ask the man or woman, or anyone who witnessed the incident, or with CCTV or dashcam footage, to get in touch.

The man is described as being white and was wearing black t-shirt and camouflage trousers, the woman as being Asian with black hair and wearing jeans and flowery top.

They had a little girl with them, possibly around two or three years old, who was wearing a blue jacket and pink leggings.
