Thief steals car with child sleeping in backseat

A car thief stalking a street for a fresh loot did not wait for long before he saw a driver and his wife stepping out of the vehicle and leaving the engine on. He quickly got in and drove away before he suddenly came to a standstill.

“Just seconds after he drove away, he saw a child sleeping in the back seat,” Sabq newspaper said in a report from the Western Red Sea port of Jeddah.

“He stopped the car on a nearby road and left. Police later found the car with the boy still asleep and handed him and the vehicle to his father.”
