Woman Finds 2-year-old Girl at her Door After Carjacking

By Bay City News

When she heard a knock on her door Tuesday night, Vallejo resident  Gabi Strong answered it. There stood a 2-year-old girl in pajamas.

"She was tired. I asked where she lived but I couldn't understand  what she was saying," Strong, 72, said this afternoon. "She hung onto my hand  and wouldn't let loose."

Vallejo police said the girl was in the back seat of her father's  car when it was carjacked around 9:30 p.m. Tuesday in the area of Alabama and  Napa streets.

The girl's father said he was driving his 1995 Buick Le Sabre when  he was cut off by a white, 1980s four-door Buick Le Sabre, Sgt. Jeff Bassett  said.

Two men with handguns got out of the Le Sabre and forced the  victim from his car, Bassett said.

One man drove off in the carjacked vehicle with the girl in the  back seat and the other left in the second Le Sabre, Sgt. Kelly Schroeder said. Bassett said a woman who lives in the 200 block of Springs Road about a mile away called police about 45 minutes later to report a 2-year old  girl was at her front door, Bassett said.

Strong said she was that woman, and that the girl had shown up sometime between 10 and 10:30 p.m. Police went to the apartment complex and found the girl unharmed and the carjacked vehicle outside.

"Thank God she's safe," Strong said.

The first suspect is described as black, 22 or 23 years old, 5 feet 8 inches with shoulder-length braids with gold tips, police said.

The second suspect is also black and is 20-25 years old. Both men  were wearing gray sweaters and blue jeans, police said. Bassett said there is no new information about the suspects this  afternoon.
