Running vehicle stolen with infant inside in Edmonton

In a case very similar to one in Grande Prairie nearly a year ago, an infant has been found safe after the vehicle it was inside was stolen in Edmonton.

A woman in her thirties left the one year old in an unlocked and idling car while she quickly ran into a business around 10 a.m. this morning.

Fortunately, when police were talking to the mother, the suspect drove past in her car.

A man in his thirties was caught by a canine unit after he fled on foot into an industrial yard.

Back in February 2014, seven month old Addison was kidnapped when the running vehicle she was in was stolen outside of a Grande Prairie home.

She was later left on the porch of a hour south of the city in her carseat.
