On February 10, 2019 at approximately 7:13 pm, ACCPD responded to a
Vehicle Theft and Kidnapping call from a residence on Windy Hill Place. ACCPD
arrived at the scene and met with the victim (22,) who indicated that her vehicle,
a 2001 Ford Taurus, had been stolen from her driveway and her 11-month-old
daughter was in the vehicle. The baby was in a car seat in the rear seat of the
vehicle.

kidnapping. ACCPD began searching the area and located the stolen vehicle in the
parking lot of a shopping center at 1740 Epps Bridge Road in Oconee County,
which is adjacent to Athens-Clarke County. The baby was in her car seat in the
back of the vehicle and apparently unharmed.
ACCPD investigators and detectives are actively investigating this incident
and ask that anyone with information to contact Det. Carroll at 706-613-3330, ext.
