INDIANAPOLIS -- A man is accused of stealing a car with two young kids inside that was idling in a driveway on Indianapolis' east side Monday evening.
Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department officers were called to the 7900 block of Bellwood Drive for a report of a stolen vehicle.
The mother of the children told police that her vehicle was running outside with a 7-year-old and 3-month-old inside. When she realized it had been taken she called the police.
A neighbor told police that the suspect had approached him before taking off with the woman's car and asked for liquor. He said it appeared that the suspect had already been drinking.
