SF Police Find 2 Children Who Were Taken In Stolen Vehicle

SAN FRANCISCO, CA — San Francisco Police officers recovered two missing children hours after an Amber alert was issued Saturday night, police announced on Twitter.

The two young children were left inside a vehicle with its engine running at around 8:47 p.m. while the driver was making a food delivery. A suspect reportedly stole the Honda Odyssey on the 2100 block of Jackson Street, prompting officers to trigger an Amber alert and a search for the vehicle.

The vehicle and both children — a 4-year-old and a 2-year-old — were found in the city's Bayview District by local officers there, the San Francisco Police Department said.

"The children will be medically evaluated and reunited with their parents," police tweeted.

The suspect was still at large, police said.

"Thank you to the heroic police officers who worked tirelessly to locate the two children. A special thanks to the [SFPD Bayview] officers who located the children and the vehicle," David Lazar, deputy chief of the Investigations Bureau said on social media. "A huge thank you to the community for all the social media and calls to us."
