Police say that a Louisville woman’s car was stolen outside of a store on Wednesday, and her young grandson was in the back seat.
Police say they received the call around 9:00 a.m. WAVE-TV reports that the woman’s car had been running outside of the Dixie Food Mart in Shively when it was stolen.
The thieves apparently noticed the toddler in the car and that is when they stopped, left the toddler, and took off, according to police.

An 18-year-old male and a 17-year-old male were caught by police in connection with the crime just minutes after police received the call.
The three-year-old in the car spoke to Shively Police about what happened to him.
“His statement was something along the line of, ‘he was driving Grammy’s car’. And, the child even asked him, ‘what are you doing?’” Sgt. Josh Myers with the Shively Police Department told WAVE-TV. “This obviously, a stolen car is bad enough, but when there’s a child in the car, it adds a layer to it.”
The two subjects caught by police are facing charges of complicity to commit theft, fleeing, and wanton endangerment.
Police say it is not likely that the grandmother will face charges.
