Car Stolen With Child Still Inside: Greenwich Police

GREENWICH, CT — A car was stolen from Old Greenwich on Thursday afternoon with a child under the age of 13 still inside, according to the Greenwich Police Department.

Capt. Mark Zuccerella of the GPD said a BMW was taken from 1340 E. Putnam Ave., at approximately 3:30 p.m., which prompted several police units to flood the area.

The car was found nearby in front of the Hyatt Regency Greenwich hotel, Zuccerella said. The child was in the car unharmed, and reunited with their parent.

However, the thief, described as a younger Black male wearing a green jacket, left the area and went toward Stamford in a black Hyundai Sonata, police said.

The GPD is investigating the car theft, and is asking anyone with more information to call 203-622-8054.
