Authorities in New York have asked for the public’s help in locating a 6-year-old boy who was reportedly inside a vehicle that was stolen on Monday afternoon.
The NYPD tweeted that Ronald Mowatt was in the backseat of a white 2007 Acura MDX—with Georgia plates RLB3556—that was stolen from Avenue L and East 96th Street in Brooklyn. Sources told WCBS that Mowatt’s uncle had taken Mowatt to a plumbing supply store and left him inside the running vehicle when an unknown man jumped into the driver’s seat and fled.
Mowatt is described as being 3 feet 5 inches tall. He was reportedly wearing a red and blue sweater, blue jeans, and black sneakers at the time of his disappearance.
