BUENA PARK (CNS) - A minivan with a 2-year-old boy inside was stolen today from a Buena Park school, prompting authorities to issue an Amber Alert, but the boy was found safe a short time later.
According to Buena Park police, the 2017 Toyota Sienna with California license plate 8BTV598 was taken around 9:30 a.m.
from outside the Emery School in the 8600 block of Somerset Street.
The boy, Ian Eo, was inside the silver/gray Sienna when it was taken, police said.
The boy's mother was dropping something off at the school, and she ran inside with the vehicle running, Buena Park police Sgt. Chad Weaver said. She has another child enrolled at the school, Weaver said.
Just before 11 a.m., a passerby on the border of Stanton and Anaheim spotted the vehicle without a driver, but saw the boy inside and called police, Weaver said.
The person who took the van was described only as a roughly 40-year- old man.
