On Oct. 4, at approximately 8:10 a.m., the Kentwood Police Department was dispatched to a stolen vehicle with a 2-year-old child inside. The vehicle was stolen from the area of 48th Street and Marlette Avenue in Kentwood.
A few minutes later, the police department received another phone call that the 2-year-old child was left on the side of the road a short distance away. The child was returned to its parents, unharmed.
The stolen vehicle was found in the City of Grand Rapids shortly after it was stolen. A search for the suspect was not successful. Multiple agencies assisted Kentwood including the Kent County Sheriff’s Department, Wyoming Department of Public Safety, and the Grand Rapids Police Department.
