“We had a family on the phone and could track the vehicle,” he said. “I notified the aviation unit and the police because the vehicle ran around the block and stayed very close.”
The officers received a real -time location update from toys, and added that the police helicopter had tracked the vehicle. The police gathered in the car and found that the thief was throwing it away with a sleeping child.
“The child is fine. There is no injury,” he continued. “I don't know if my child was still sleeping, so I knew what had happened. [the] Children are the same [the] My mother and my child are fine. “
Police believe that the case was a day -to -day crime and the family was not selected. The law enforcement agency suspects that he had not noticed that there was a child inside the car when the thief was stolen. According to Small, the police are investigating whether the invitation N is intentional.
“It may not have been an intentional invitation N, but it was still an invitation because the vehicle was stolen with a 4 -year -old child,” said Chief Inspector.
