The Amber Alert system has rescued many lives over the years, and one family are particularly grateful this week after they were reunited with their precious 10-month-old baby girl.

 

Police launched an Amber Alert after little Yareli Velasco’s mother’s car was stolen, with the tot still inside.

 

According to reports, the child was asleep in the backseat and her mother did not want to wake her when she visited her local laundry. She claims she had only stepped inside the Laundromat for ‘one or two seconds’ when a thief came along and drove away in her car.

 

After the incident, which occurred on Fort Lauderdale on Monday, Laundromat employees called the police, and the Amber Alert was sent out to locate the Chevy Cruze with the tot inside.

 

 

Thankfully, the car was found shortly after, and little Yareli was reunited with her emotional mother.

 

An investigation has now been launched to find the car thief, who is believed to be around 19 or 20 years of age.

 

Thank heavens this little tot was found safe and sound.
