Rental Car Stolen With Toddler Inside In North Nashville

NASHVILLE, TN -- A 2-year-old girl is back with her mother after the toddler was taken, along with a rental car, in a North Nashville auto theft Sunday.

A white Hyundai Elantra was stolen from the parking lot of the Citgo in the 3000 block of Brick Church Pike Sunday night. The little girl who was inside was found, unharmed, around 6:30 p.m. on Pennock Avenue, about four miles from the station.

Neither the car, nor those suspected of taken it, have been located.

Metro Police say the suspects drove another stolen car - a blue Nissan sedan - to the Citgo. The Nissan was located near where the 2-year-old was found.

Surveillance footage from the gas station shows at least three suspects - two black males and a white female. Investigators say there may also be a fourth person involved.

Coincidentally, Saturday morning in Donelson, auto thieves stole a car with three children inside from a gas station parking lot.
