Dad's anger as £600 pushchair 'stolen' from driveway by scrap collectors

An expensive pram and its accessories were 'stolen' from a driveway by so-called 'scrap dealers', a dad claims. Jamie Lee had prepared the Joie Versatrax pushchair ready for his five-month-old, Chester, to be taken out for a walk.

The kit - which included a 'rockit’ baby rocker and snooze shade, costing more than £400, and the travel system costing £650 - had been prepared and left leaning against a wall outside his home in Birmingham at around 3.30pm on Sunday (September 25).

“We were delayed as when I picked him up he was a little sick as he had just had a feed. We changed him and went out to the pram about 15 minutes later. It was at this point we realised it had been taken.”

Jamie scoured footage from a camera owned by a neighbour in Beacon Road, which leads to Endhill Road, reports BirminghamLive. He spotted a Vauxhall van with a man and
