WATCH: Tampa officers rescue baby from abandoned stolen car

The Tampa Police Department released body camera footage from an Aug. 5, 2022 incident where a baby was found inside an abandoned stolen car.

Officers responded to an apartment complex on Siesta Court after a woman reported her car was stolen with her 11-month-old daughter inside. The car was found about half an hour later.

Body camera footage shows officers hopping a chain link fence to reach the car, which was turned off and sitting in the sun.

Officers said the baby was lethargic and overheated, so they rushed her to a patrol car and gave her a cold compress and some water to cool her down. Paramedics took her to the hospital to get checked out and she was reunited with her mother.
