Cops searching for missing mum Jamie-Leigh Kelly find her toddler and newborn 90 miles away as 2 charged with abduction

COPS searching for a missing mum have found her toddler and newborn baby 90 miles away in Essex.

Jamie-Leigh Kelly, 31, left a Family Assessment Centre on Tuesday with her three-year-old daughter and baby son, who was born this month.

The mum walked out of the centre in Colindale, in North-West London, around 7.40pm with her two kids, who are under care orders and should have stayed there, say police.

Staff were unable to stop Jamie-Leigh from leaving and bundling the youngsters into a blue Ford Fiesta.

The Met Police launched an urgent appeal to find her and her two young children.

Today police said the children had been found at an address in Harwich, Essex - but Jamie-Leigh was not there.

The youngsters were both taken to hospital as a precaution before they were put into police protection, say cops.

A 63-year-old woman was arrested at the address on suspicion of child abduction, assisting an offender and perverting the course of justice.

Later on Sunday evening, the Met said a 31-year-old woman had handed herself into a police station in East London.

She was arrested and taken to hospital as a precaution.

Another woman and a man were arrested earlier this week following the family's disappearance.

Jordan Hardy, 30, of Dagenham, and Ashley Hawkins, 52, also of Dagenham, have now both been charged with two counts of child abduction.

They will appear at Southend Magistrates’ Court on Monday.

Detective Superintendent Lewis Basford said: “We are very pleased, and of course relieved, to have found the two children after an extensive enquiries over the past few days.

"They are safe and well and receiving precautionary medical attention."
