The Elizabethtown Police Department is investigating after a suspect stole a vehicle that had a seven-month-old child in the backseat.
EPD Public Information Officer Chris Denham said officers responded to the 200 block of Michelle Avenue at approximately 6:38 p.m. Sunday after a vehicle was stolen from a residence there with a female child inside. Denham said officers quickly responded to the situation.
“I’m pleased to share that within an hour of receiving the initial call, one of our patrol officers located the vehicle within close proximity of where it was taken,” Denham said. “Thankfully, the child was still inside and unharmed.”
No suspects have been identified in the case, and the EPD is asking for the public’s assistance.
“I would ask anyone who has any information to please contact us by calling 270-765-4125,” Denham said. “Information can also be shared anonymously by calling Hardin County Crimestoppers at 1-800-597-8123 or by visiting www.P3tips.com.”
