There is an active search for two suspects wanted for a theft of a vehicle that had a child inside in Newark's Ironbound section this afternoon.
The incident happened in the 100 block of Ferry Street, at around 2:30 p.m., where police swarmed the area in search of a vehicle taken from that location with a female child, as young as 2-years-old, inside.
According to witnesses, the female owner of the vehicle reportedly left the child inside the car to go inside a store when two males jumped into the car and sped away.
Police officers canvassing the area found the vehicle minutes later in the 100 block of Adams Street with the child still inside according to reports.
The suspects remain at-large.
The investigation is active and ongoing
