A 6-year-old girl was abducted — probably by accident — after she was left waiting in a car as it warmed up and a thief jumped in.
Lt. Matt Murray, spokesman for the Denver Police Department, said the car was being warmed up about 4:48 a.m. Friday in the 2800 block of Jackson Street when a stranger hopped into the vehicle and took off with the child.
“We quickly did a full-court press,” Murray said. A description of the car was aired citywide and police saturated the area.
Murray said that about six minutes later, at 4:54 a.m., a patrol unit spotted the car and child in the 2800 block of Harrison Street. The child was unharmed, Murray said.
