FLINT, Mich. (FOX 2) - A repossession agent says they didn't know a child was in the vehicle during a repo Friday in Flint.
A mother called 911 and said she saw someone driving away in her vehicle after she got out of it for a moment in the 2100 block of S. Dort. Her 2-year-old child was in the backseat.
The woman followed the vehicle in a friend's car and told 911 dispatchers where they were. Officers caught up to the vehicle on northbound 475 just north of Carpenter Road and pulled the driver over.
