The mum of a newborn baby is asking for help to find a special blanket which has been lost in St Albans.

They were out in Fleetville on Tuesday, March 3 when she realised the blanket had disappeared.

Friend of the family Sarah Heng said: "The blanket is unique - handmade especially for her.

"Luckily someone contacted my friend on social media to say she had seen the blanket in Morrison's car park yesterday early afternoon and saw a man pick it up.

"It is thought that somebody took it into the store or placed it on a trolly.

"Despite our best efforts visiting the store and searching ourselves, we still cannot track it down.

"This blanket has great sentimental value."
