LA thief steals truck as 5-year-old sleeps inside
LOS ANGELES — California authorities say a thief in the Hollywood Hills stole a truck with a 5-year-old boy sleeping inside but the child was found safely soon after.
Los Angeles police spokeswoman Sara Faden says the boy’s mother stepped out of the truck Friday morning to throw something in a roadside trash can when a suspect stepped into the driver’s seat and drove away.
The boy and truck were found unharmed a half-hour later about a mile away.
Police are looking for the suspect but they don’t have a description of the person.
The names of the mother and boy were not immediately released.
