Man arrested after stealing car with baby inside
<p dir="ltr">A man has been arrested after allegedly stealing a car with a four-month-old baby in the backseat.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The child’s mother had left the car running while she jumped out to grab a few things from an Adelaide deli in the suburb of Klemzig at around 7.45 am on Monday.</p>
<p dir="ltr">CCTV then shows the 37-year-old man arrive at the car park in a stolen Mazda before checking out the woman’s Honda.</p>
<p dir="ltr">He goes back to the Mazda and grabs a bag before going back to the Honda and driving off.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The child’s mother is then seen running out of the deli to her car when she sees it moving.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Several police units were deployed to look for the baby who was eventually found in the abandoned car just after 10am.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The infant was taken to the hospital as a precaution.</p>
<p dir="ltr">“Police located the vehicle at Wilkinson Ave at Enfield and, thankfully, seated in the rear was the child,” South Australia Police Chief Inspector Matt Nairn said.</p>
<p dir="ltr">“An ambulance has attended along with police and now mum and we can confirm the child is safe and well.</p>
<p dir="ltr">“It’s a great relief to South Australia police to reunite mum and child... you can imagine the distress that caused mum.”</p>
<p dir="ltr">Police arrested a man in relation to the incident and interviewed him before charging him with abduction of a child.</p>
<p dir="ltr">He was refused bail and ordered to appear before the Adelaide Magistrates Court.</p>
