ST ANN, Mo. — A man is in custody after allegedly stealing a vehicle with his girlfriend's 4-year-old son inside.
St. Ann Police Chief Aaron Jimenez said the woman's vehicle was stolen Tuesday afternoon from a QuikTrip on St. Charles Rock Road in St. Ann. The woman used the cell phone of someone passing by to call police saying her car was stolen with her 4-year-old son inside.
Police used Flock cameras to track the location of the woman's stolen Dodge Challenger. Officers with the North County Police Cooperative spotted the car. Officers chased the vehicle, which was going about 120 miles per hour, Jimenez said.
During the police chase, the Dodge struck another car near Cypress Road and continued driving.
Jimenez said the man then stopped in the area of Natural Bridge Road and Goodfellow Boulevard when he saw more police. He was apprehended by police there. It was determined he was the woman's boyfriend. He is not the child's biological father.
The 4-year-old was found safe after the incident.
Prosecutors have not issued charges at this time.
