Police find 3-year-old taken in stolen car
An Amber Alert in Prince George's County ended in the best outcome. Prince George's County police say 3-year-old Blake Morgan is with his mom after a man stole an SUV the boy was sitting in at a Royal Farms in Upper Marlboro. FOX 5's Nana-Sentuo Bonsu reports from the Royal Farms where the search started.
An Amber Alert was issued for a 3-year-old who was inside an SUV that was stolen Thursday night from an Upper Marlboro gas station.
The Prince George's County Police Department said the child — who has been identified as Blake Alexander Morgan — was found safe nearly two hours later in Edmonston.
Blake was in the backseat of a brown 2015 Nissan Armada Thursday night when police believe a stranger – described as a white or Hispanic man – took the vehicle from the Royal Farms gas station in the 5300 block of Ritchie Marlboro Road. Police said the SUV was left running.
Around 6:20 p.m., Blake's grandfather notified police of the situation, the Amber Alert was issued, and the search was on.
Police told FOX 5 the suspect was taken into custody shortly after the child and vehicle were located.
Blake has been reunited with his parents.
