PASADENA, Md. (AP) - Law enforcement authorities in Maryland say a toddler and a baby who were in a vehicle that was stolen from a gas station have been found safe.
Police in Anne Arundel County on Friday said the 2-year-old and 6-month-old boys were reunited with their mother after they were found inside the vehicle, which the suspect had ditched. News outlets reported the suspect remains at large.
The vehicle was stolen shortly after 9 p.m. Friday in Pasadena. Anne Arundel County police Lt. John Mahaffee said the mother reported that she was pumping gas when a man jumped in her vehicle and immediately took off.
Mahaffee said that while dozens of officers searched the area, a person told them they may have seen a vehicle that matched the description of the mother’s car. Mahaffee said officers then searched that area and found the vehicle and children.
Police are asking anyone with information to contact authorities.
