A couple who disappeared with their newborn baby seven weeks ago have been found and arrested in Brighton, but the infant is still missing, police have said. Constance Marten and Mark Gordon had not been seen since their car broke down near Bolton on 5 January. The couple were found after a sighting by a member of the public in the Stanmer Villas area on Monday evening.

Police have launched an “urgent search” for the baby who was thought to be just days old when they disappeared.

The couple are in custody where they remain and are being questioned – according to Metropolitan Police.

The BBC reports that the search is covering a large area between Brighon and Newhaven – where the pair were spotted by a member of the public.

A helicopter was up overnight scouring the search zone, while drones and police dogs have also been deployed.
