PIERCE COUNTY, Wash. – A car stolen with a 3-year-old inside has been recovered and the child is safe.
Police say a silver Mazda, with the child in the back seat, was running in the driveway of a South Hill man’s home when it was stolen Wednesday morning.
The Pierce County Sheriff’s Department said the father had put his 3-year-old daughter in the back seat and then went inside his home to get his second child when the car was stolen.
The father called 911. At the same time, a witness called 911 to report that a silver Mazda had crashed at a nearby Walgreens and a child was in the car.
The child was found unhurt and was reunited with her father. Searches were conducted with a K-9 and a helicopter, but the suspect was not found.
