SOUTH LOS ANGELES () — A child was abducted on Saturday night when a car was stolen from South Los Angeles with the 3-year-old girl still in the backseat.
The child was in the backseat of a vehicle that was running with the parents standing nearby at 49th Place and Figueroa Street, according to Los Angeles police. That’s when someone reportedly got inside and drove off, and an Amber Alert was issued.
California Highway Patrol said they spotted the RAV4 at the center of the alert early Sunday morning in the Inland Empire and tried to pull the vehicle over.
The driver reportedly refused to stop, launching a pursuit from the 15 Freeway to Lucerne Valley.
When the driver finally came to a stop just before 1 a.m., the little girl was found safe inside and was reunited with her family, according to LAPD. The Amber Alert was then canceled.
The person who stole the car was arrested and is awaiting charges.
