Billings Police Quickly Snag Kidnapping, Stolen Vehicle Suspect

Now that was fast. A surveillance camera screenshot was put out to the public, and Billings Police very quickly found the kidnapping and stolen vehicle suspect...and the children...unharmed. 

A report came in Sunday morning, prompting officers to respond to the 1100 block of 1st Ave N regarding a kidnapping and stolen vehicle call. According to the Billings Police Department, "the victim reported his vehicle containing his 2 year old and 3 mon old baby had been stolen with them in it. Police quickly responded and began searching the area for the vehicle. BPD officers located the kids, unharmed, and the vehicle in the 800 block of N 17th. The suspect had fled on foot prior to officers arrival."

The big help came from Club Lux sharing the surveillance video.  

Connor Lorenz, the owner of Club Lux hailed law enforcement's efforts. "Thank you to BPD for being so quick to help on this. It is very impressive how solid our local police force is. Everyone was found safe and the car was returned!"

Here's a comment from the Billings Police Department Facebook page. Tanner: "Club Lux definitely did not cheap out on their security cams. Good job"
