OWNERS of a Bolton company have appealed for the return of exclusive designer baby clothes snatched from a car yesterday.

The 10 baby's shirts and trousers, designed by Belmont-based Alibali clothes, were stolen from the back seat of a VW Golf while one of the owners, Paul Brindle visited a client on Chorley New Road. When he returned a brick had been thrown through the window and the clothes snatched.

The company, established last July, supplies exclusive shops and boutiques.

Co-owner Alison Leslie said the clothes were not yet available in Bolton. The shirts are for six to 12-month-old babies and have a blue yellow and white check.

Anyone with information should contact Alison on 811085.
