A kidnapper stole a family car and sped off dangerously, unaware that a baby was sitting in the back seat.
Luke Joyce jumped into a family car that had its engine running on September 21 this year as the mother of the child stood at the passenger door. The 27-year-old, who had only been released from prison weeks earlier, then sped off in the vehicle, completely unaware the mum's two-year-old daughter was sitting in the backseat.
As the mum screamed in terror, Joyce drove back in her direction and nearly hit the child's dad as he tried to stop the car. When Joyce finally realised there was a child in the car, he abandoned the vehicle miles away and then ran off, leaving the crying baby inside.
