GREEN TOWNSHIP, Ohio — A 28-year-old man faces theft and kidnapping charges after he stole a car that a 2-year-old child was inside, prompting an Amber Alert.

Bryan Middleton is accused of taking a car from Good Samaritan Hospital on Jan. 31. Cincinnati police said the car was running with a 2-year-old child inside while a parent dropped off a DoorDash order.

Police were able to track the car from Good Sam's to Valley Ridge Road in Green Township, where they located the vehicle and 2-year-old less than an hour later. The child was found unharmed, police said.
