PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) — A woman was arrested after police said she stole a car with a baby inside early Saturday morning.
Police said the black sedan was left unlocked and unattended, with the keys left inside, near 5th Street and Olney Avenue at about 12:30 a.m. A woman hopped in and drove off with a 1-year-old strapped in his car seat in the back.
It's unclear where the mother was when her car was stolen.
About 30 minutes later, police rescued the boy after the alleged thief crashed at 5th Street and Somerville Avenue. The woman was taken into custody as she was walking away from the wrecked car with the little boy inside.
The boy was unharmed and reunited with his mother a little after 1 a.m.
