Minneapolis police say a 17-year-old who they considered a well-known carjacking suspect is in custody after he was arrested Wednesday afternoon driving a stolen car with a gun and an infant inside.
Dispatchers received a 911 call at 1:44 p.m. from Star Foods on the 800 block of Lowry Ave. N. The victim said his car had just been stolen at gunpoint, adding that the suspect brought an infant with him and placed the child in the backseat before driving away.
Responding officers made a traffic stop near the carjacking scene and arrested the teen suspect. Police say the infant was not in a car seat when the suspect was pulled over.
MPD has submitted the case to the Hennepin County Attorney's Office for charging consideration.
