Police in central Queensland are investigating after a woman had her car stolen from a Yeppoon shopping centre while a four-month-old baby was in the back seat.
Detective Acting Inspector Luke Peachey said the mum was parked in a click-and-collect bay and was placing groceries in the boot when another woman jumped into the driver's seat and drove away.
He said the alleged thief did not realise the child was in the car and returned to the scene to demand the child be removed.
