A mother and her 2-year-old have been reunited after the child was taken in a suspected carjacking in Oakland Tuesday afternoon.

On Wednesday, our sister station ABC7 News reporter Luz Pena went to the area where the 2-year-old was found and pieced together how officers were able to reunite the boy with his family.

ABC7 News obtained exclusive video where a suspect can be seen driving the stolen vehicle into a warehouse area in San Leandro.

In the video, the suspect stops the car, carries the 2-year-old boy in his lap out of the car and leaves him on the street before driving off.

[My only question reading the whole report is how exactly this went down without the mother in the vehicle. The criminals drove off with her iPhone they used to track it, and the baby in the back seat, but it doesn’t say she was forced from the car, so I’m not sure. Had to be terrifying and thank God for that bus driver who stopped immediately. ~ Beege]
