Kentucky Infant Found After Car Got Stolen: AMBER Alert Cancelled

Kentucky Infant Found - A 20-day-old boy got abducted as a thief stole the car in which the infant was in. An AMBER alert was activated and later deactivated as the infant was found safe.

The little boy's name is Henry Flores and the Kentucky State Police put out the alert for him at 4:40 p.m. on Thursday after the Florence Police Dept. found a 2001 Volkswagen Passat stolen from a Speedway Gas Station on U.S. 42 in Boone County, WBIR reported.

The infant was found a little more than two hours after the car was stolen. The situation occurred as the infant's mother pumped gas and entered the store with another infant to pay for the gas.

Then, a suspect got into the car and took it, News Max noted. After that, two women saw the baby in the back of the car. Said car was abandoned at a convenience store.

"We just started crying. We just wanted to make sure that the baby was okay," the two women, Megan Lewis and Jenny Ford, confessed.

The two of them were actually on separate ways and drove by the gas station and recognized the car; one, due to the news and second, due to the fact that they received the AMBER alert on their phones.

"When I pulled in on my way to work, I thought, 'There's no way that's the car.' And I saw the license plate. I saw those three zeroes and without those three zeroes I probably wouldn't have known it was the car."

"And I looked at her and we were like, 'Are we seeing the same thing?' but it was the car and the baby was still inside," Lewin shared and WLWT reported.

After that, the two women informed the authorities and the Kentucky mother arrived with the rest of the family to take the infant, happily about finding him safe.
