Officials with Metro Nashville Police said a woman dropped off her niece at Paragon Mills School and left her car running.
When she came back out, she noticed the car – a BMW which operates via key fob – was gone. She thought her infant baby was still in the car and called police.
Officers began looking for the vehicle and found it at a convenience store. Two men ran from the car and remain at large.

The baby was later found safe at a babysitter’s house.
The woman had previously dropped off the child before going to the school but forgot during the confusion of having her car stolen.
Anyone with information on the two suspects was asked to call Crime Stoppers at 615-74-CRIME.
