A MOTHER-of-two has appealed on social media for the return of her stolen car.

Tara Longworth’s white 2016-reg Nissan Juke was taken from outside her home in Eastwood Close, Bolton, by a hooded thief who simply walked up to the locked vehicle, somehow got into it and drove off.

She watched in disbelief as the theft happened on Friday and posted on Facebook about how she felt “absolutely heartbroken” and how the loss of the SUV had left her and her children hamstrung.

Ms Longworth continues to ask social media users to share her post in the hope of finding the Nissan.

She wrote: “Still no sign and still not slept. I feel sick and upset.

“How can someone do this few week before Christmas when I have a one and two-year-old and it’s winter? I worked hard for this car. Scumbags!”

Anyone with information can call GMP on 101.
