A huge search effort has had a happy ending after a nine-month-old baby was kidnapped when the car she was sat in the back of was stolen last night.
Harlow Darby Freeman was in the back of her family's white Lexus SUV when her dad ran into a friend's house, briefly leaving the baby unattended. Police issued an amber alert for the missing child, with her mum taking to Facebook to issue desperate pleas to the car thief to simply return her baby.
And in the past few minutes, police have revealed little Harlow has been found alive.
Harlow was taken when the car was stolen from Parrish, Alabama, at around 6.50pm Monday night, July 10. Police feared the child was in "extreme danger".
A huge search effort was launched overnight after the vehicle was taken from Crest Avenue. Harlow's aunt, Melinda Hutchison, told local media outlets that the girl's father left her in the vehicle for just a moment while he ran inside a friend's house.
