A Pennsylvania infant was found safe after a car thief stole a vehicle with the child still inside Wednesday night, according to police and local reports.
The suspect stole what is believed to be a gray 2020 Hyundai Elantra with a New Jersey license plate around 6:30 p.m. on 69th Street in Upper Darby, the Upper Darby Police Department said.
The mother of the child was picking up a food order for a delivery service when the car was stolen, Police Superintendent Tim Bernhardt told FOX29 Philadelphia.
The suspect drove the vehicle a short distance before pulling over and taking the infant girl out of the car and leaving her on a sidewalk still in her car seat, Bernhardt said.
