Early Thursday morning, a woman’s vehicle was carjacked in south Sacramento with her infant still inside.

Just before 6 a.m. on Thanksgiving Day, a woman was robbed at gunpoint while using an ATM at Stockton Boulevard and Lindale Avenue, Sacramento Sheriff’s Office spokesman Sgt. Amar Gandhi said in a news release.

The suspect then drove the vehicle away, unaware that a one-year-old child was still inside, Gandhi said.

Shortly afterward, the vehicle was found abandoned near Florin Road and Fawn Way with the child inside unharmed.

The suspect is still at large and no arrests have yet been made.

The department is investigating and is asking witnesses to contact the Sheriff’s Office at (916) 874-5115 or the Sacramento Valley Crime Stoppers at (916) 443-HELP (4357). Callers can remain anonymous and may be eligible for a reward up to $1,000.
