Britain: A three-year-old girl who was snatched from her home at bedtime before being allegedly raped was yesterday discharged from hospital.

She was treated for "significant" injuries sustained in an attack after she was driven away from her home in the Rumney area of Cardiff on Monday night.

The girl was found by police when the car she was travelling crashed 80 miles away in the early hours of Tuesday.

Officers had been alerted to the car when it jumped a red traffic light with its headlights switched off.

South Wales Police were last night questioning three men on suspicion of kidnap and rape. A 26-year-old man was arrested at the crash scene. - (PA)
