The incident comes weeks after a 1-year-old boy was found safe in an abandoned vehicle on Chicago’s Far South Side. In that case, Hoodline reported that police said a vehicle was taken in Roseland and later located in Woodlawn, with the child taken to a hospital for observation.
For Saturday’s West Side case, additional information about the circumstances of the theft and the vehicle’s recovery was not immediately available. The boy’s safe return remains the key development as authorities work to determine what happened.
