A three-year-old girl has died after being found in an allegedly stolen car in a river.
Mum Kim Rowlands took to Facebook on Monday afternoon to report her silver Mini was missing with her daughter Kiara inside.
"Can everyone look out for the car, It's been stolen with my 3-year-old daughter in it. Please share!" she posted.
Her sister Nicola made a similar plea saying: "My sister's car was stolen from Carmarthenshire with my 3 year old niece inside, please share and get my niece home safe!"
Dyfed-Powys police in Cardigan, Wales, also shared an appeal saying they had received a report of the car going missing from an old Scout Hall at around 3.30pm.

At around 6pm, police confirmed the car had been found in the River Teifi with a little girl inside.
She was airlifted to hospital for medical treatment.
No arrests were made in connection with the incident.
Late on Monday night, Kim's partner Jet Moore posted an update to thank those who had helped in the search, but added: "A mega thank you the officers who jumped in the river and the rest of the emergency services for all they did."

"Unfortunately Kiara had an amazing but short life."
When contacted, Dyfed Powys police said they could not give an update on the child's condition but said they were aware of the reports she had died.
