Woman Arrested After Stealing Car With Child Inside
A young Las Vegas father experienced some terrifying minutes Friday after his car was stolen with his infant son inside.
The father had only stepped a few feet away from the running vehicle when the thief, who police say had been lying in wait, jumped in the car and sped off.
Channel 8 Eyewitness News was the first at the scene when police recovered the car and re-united the family.
That father was too shaken up to talk with us on camera, but you can bet he'll never step away from his car again with the engine running and his child inside.
Police say it was just 10 a.m. when the young father pulled up into the Albertsons parking lot at Warm Springs and Rainbow to return some videos at a curbside kiosk.
