CHICAGO (WHDH) - Police are looking for two teenagers in Chicago who allegedly stole a car with a child inside.
Richard Rodriguez, 10, said he was waiting in the car as his mother brought out his baby sister. Instead, Richard said a teenage girl got in and drove off with him in the backseat.
“I was in shock. I called the police,” said Richard’s mother, Jacqueline Martinez Rodriguez.
Richard said the girl drove recklessly, hitting at least two cars and striking a post in an alley. Another teenage joined the girl in the SUV and a few blocks away, they told Richard to get out.
“They just told me, ‘hurry up,’ and I just took the sweater of my little sister and my backpack and since they saw my backpack, they said, ‘Have a nice school day,'” said Richard.
A stranger found Richard alone in the alley and called his mother, reuniting them. He was not harmed. Police are now looking for the two teenagers who stole the family’s SUV.
