WOLCOTT A 5-year-old girl was found by the town’s top cop “physically unharmed” more than two hours after being kidnapped during the theft of a motor vehicle from a local convenience store late Sunday night, police said.
Police took a 911 call around 11:30 p.m. about a vehicle stolen from Cumberland Farms at 1655 Meriden Road with a 5-year-old child inside, officials said.
All police units, as well as additional units from Waterbury, responded to the scene.
Officers found that an 11-year-old boy had also been in the vehicle that was taken, but had managed to jump out of the vehicle before the alleged suspect drove off, police said.
