A missing baby boy who was inside a car that was stolen in Philadelphia was found safe Saturday evening.
Police said a woman left her neon blue 2014 Mitsubishi Mirage running with the keys inside while going into a store on the 2400 block of North 33rd Street around 7 p.m. Saturday. Her 1-year-old child and 4-year-old child were both inside the vehicle when an unidentified suspect went inside the car and drove off.
The woman called police. Responding officers then found the 4-year-old child walking barefoot in the snow five to ten minutes later on the 3300 block of West Huntingdon Street a few blocks away. The child was taken to St. Christopher’s Hospital for observation but was not injured. He was reunited with his mother.
An Amber Alert was issued for the missing 1-year-old child. The baby was later found safe in the backseat of the Mitsubishi Mirage on the 2800 block of Huntingdon Street. Police said the vehicle was still running and the child was not harmed.
Police have not yet revealed if they found the suspect who initially stole the car.
