Woman's Car Stolen With Baby Inside

MILWAUKEE — A Milwaukee woman watched as carjackers drove away with her car - and her infant secured in the back seat.

According to a FOX 6 report, alderman Mark Borkowski issued a statement regarding the incident he says happened in his aldermanic district - several blocks north of Greenfield - on Monday morning.

Per the FOX 6 Report:

According to Borkowski, at 6:45 a.m. Monday, near 66th and Montana Street on Milwaukee’s south side, a mother, driving her one-month-old child to daycare was targeted in a bump and run” carjacking.

The woman’s vehicle was struck from behind, and Borkowski says when she exited her vehicle to inspect the damage, two suspects forced their way into her vehicle and stole it — with the baby still inside.

Borkowski's statement:

“Just imagine the fear, terror and horror that mother felt as she watched those criminals drive away with her precious baby strapped in the car seat behind the driver. Fortunately, when the thugs had a chance, they stopped the car, put the baby on the side of the road and drove away. Thankfully, the baby was not harmed and was reunited with the mother. The situation, however, could have been so much worse.
