Union County officials say a teenage boy who stole a car with a toddler inside has been charged with kidnapping and numerous other counts.

The county prosecutor’s office says that the 16-year-old took the car Thursday night at a Roselle home, shortly after the vehicle’s owner had arrived there. The owner was bringing items from the vehicle into the home when the theft occurred. It was unclear if the teen knew that the child was inside the car.

Roselle police soon located the vehicle and chased the teen into neighboring Elizabeth. The teen was soon captured there following a brief foot pursuit.

The 2-year-old was found unharmed on a sidewalk in Roselle.

The teen’s name was not released due to his age.
