Two people have been arrested on suspicion of snatching a toddler from her legal guardians in East Ham.

Manjinder, 3, was thankfully found within two hours after police said she was taken from her legal carers.

MPS Newham released a desperate appeal asking the public for help in locating Manjinder at 3.20pm on Thursday.

They tweeted: “She has been taken from her legal carers. She is believed to be with an Indian man & woman in their mid-30s.”

The force later confirmed that the girl had been found “safe and well” just forty minutes later.

They added two suspects have been arrested for child abduction.

Scotland Yard has been approached for further comment.
