Video shows suspect dropping off baby at store before driving off in stolen car

He stole a car with a baby in the back seat, police say. The baby was not injured and was later reunited with his father.

PHOENIX — After a man allegedly drove off in a stolen car with a baby inside on Sunday afternoon, surveillance video captured the suspect dropping the baby off at a store.

Police said the victim was pumping gas and walking to the convenience store when he saw a man get into his car and drive away. The victim told police his 6-month-old son was in the car, along with his keys. 

About 10 minutes after the theft was reported, an off-duty officer found the 6-month old boy in his car seat in a store near Indian School Road and Maryvale Parkway. 

Video from a security camera shows the suspect stopping the car outside a Walmart, removing the baby from the back and leaving him in the store before driving away.
