A woman needs your help after losing her car in Cardiff city centre.

New mum Joanne Bridgeman, 33, was visiting Cardiff with her seven-day-old daughter Aria from her home in the Rhondda when she parked on an unfamiliar street.

She arrived in Cardiff around 10.20am on Monday to drop her mum at a meeting at Eastgate House on Newport Road.

Following her satnav, she saw the building and tried to park nearby.

"I didn't know if there were any car parks nearby so I just tried to park where I could," said Joanne.

"I remember seeing the building and I took the wrong turn so I had to take the next right and I kept going down there.

"I tried to go back around," she remembers.

The car was parked on a residential street that may have had a cafe on it.

"When I tried to go back to the car, I just didn't recognise where I was," she said.

"I was walking round and trying to find it but then I needed to get Aria home."

She called a friend to come pick her up and they again drove round nearby streets but with no luck.

The car, a red Ford C-Max, has a registration of BD62 VBB.

Anyone who spots the car is asked to message Joanne Bridgeman on Facebook or email newsdesk@walesonline.co.uk.
