Toronto police have issued an Amber Alert as they search for a four-year-old girl who was inside a car that was stolen this morning when it was left running outside the family home.

Here are details of the four-year-old, identified by police as Christina Nguyen:

  • Asian.
  • Three feet tall.
  • Black shoulder-length hair and brown eyes.
  • Was wearing a red jacket, pink pants and white hat.
Investigators are asking residents to be on the lookout for a 2008 Toyota Camry with licence plate BHVH 392. Anyone seeing the car is advised to call 911.

"We're asking that whoever took the car, leave the car somewhere with the child in it and contact us anonymously at 416-808-2222 and just let us know where the car is," Det. Ranbir Dhillon told reporters outside the family's home.

He said police don't have any information about a possible suspect.

There have been no confirmed sightings of the car, OPP Sgt. Kerry Schmidt told CBC Toronto. Police have received calls about possible sightings, including near Highway 403 and Mavis Road in Mississauga, just west of Toronto, and near Cambridge, about 100 kilometres southwest of the city.

OPP cars are patrolling roads and following up on reported sightings, he said.

'An opportune crime'
Police were called to the home in the Jane Street and Lawrence Avenue area shortly after 6 a.m. ET, Staff Sgt. Tim Jacob told CBC Toronto.

The girl's mother started the car in the driveway to get it warmed up, then went back into her home to get a second child, police said. She came out to discover the car and the child were gone.

"We are thinking it's an opportune crime where it's a vehicle that's running and nice and warm for somebody to take it," Jacob said. "We are concerned for the child's safety for obvious reasons."

Jacob said "time is critical" whenever a child is involved in such an incident.

"Hopefully the suspect, once he realizes there's a child in the back, that they abandon the vehicle in a public area," Jacob said.
 
Toronto 是第一批成为避难城市的。但愿不是因为难民需要车顺便带走她,如果渥太华成为难民避难城,应该会有很多从未发生的事会发生吧,不可能象现在这么安静。到时候,估计警察也没办法。不知道谁是下一个倒霉的?
 
难民里肯定有罪犯,罪犯不犯法就不是罪犯了!多伦多成为难民的避难所,以后这样的事多了去,大家就祈祷自己家人不会成为下一个目标吧。
渥太华要成了避难所,大家就准备回流吧,回不去的,就准备买枪,买防盗栏吧。
 
东北有个案例是俩小子偷了车,发现有小孩在后面,就把小孩扔在野外,最后活活冻死。
但愿这儿的人对生命有起码的尊重。
 
Toyota 的 van 及 Camry 現在是最搶手的了。我的舊Sienna ,賣了给一位黎巴乱人,他是二手車 dealer, 毎天用 cargo 把車轉運去中東。他説,Toyota 的 engine 很好,可以用很多年,他们在那裏可以修理汽车,只要 engine 没问题就可以了。

你有 Camry 或 Sienna 的話,可要小心了,不要胡乱泊車!
