MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) – Minneapolis Police are searching for a person who stole a van with a developmentally disabled 10-year-old child still inside.

According to Sgt. Bill Palmer, the van was stolen near the 3100 block of Fourth Avenue South early Thursday morning.

The van’s driver had left the vehicle running and was going inside to get another child from a different residence when the theft happened.

Police said the person who stole the van then dropped the child off a few blocks away before driving off.

A WCCO-TV photographer reported seeing the van crash into a pickup truck at Interstate 35W and 4th Street Southeast. The van fled the scene.

At 6:30 p.m., the van was found unoccupied.

      Criminals are criminals. I agree.

      However, if you don’t pick up on a pattern, you are already behind in the search for who perptrated the crime.

  • Paul

    An SOB that has his head in his rear hole!! The fact that the van was involved in an accident makes the vehicle worth less and puts a great id on the van in addition to the name. Throw the book at this jerk when you find the person.
