INDIANAPOLIS -- A 5-month-old baby is safe after a car was stolen Thursday night on Indianapolis' south side.

Indianapolis Metro Police say a woman went into a Family Dollar store in the 2200 block of Shelby Street around 9:15 p.m. and left the car running.

The suspect walked by the car, walked into the store, then walked out and got into the car.

A 10-year-old jumped out, but a 5-month old was still in the vehicle as the suspect drove away.

The car and the child were located about 20 minutes later at a Denny's in the 3500 block of South Keystone at I-65.

The suspect is still at large.
