A mother who briefly had her baby boy and vehicle stolen this morning told police she left the car running while she dashed inside a Malton gas station to pay for fuel. The woman says she was gone for about 30 seconds but when she came out, her car – and the baby-sitting inside – were missing. Around 40 minutes later, the vehicle was found abandoned, with the child inside in front of an apartment building, across the street from the gas station. Police said, “The child is healthy and in good condition and is being checked out by paramedics as a precaution.” The woman and her child were taken to Peel police 21 Division where she had to make a formal statement about the incident but both are now resting at home. The woman is “emotionally distraught” and “traumatized” over the ordeal, she got her baby back safe and sound but it’s still traumatizing,” Peel police spokesperson Const. Lilly Fitzpatrick told media. The suspect is still at-large.
