A five-year-old girl was found safe inside a stolen car early this morning. Wolcott police say the girl was in the backseat of the car when it was stolen from Cumberland Farms on Meriden Road around 11:30 last night. Investigators say an 11-year-old boy was also inside, but jumped out before the car took off. Wolcott’s police chief says he found the abandoned car with the child inside at around 1:45 this morning. Police are actively searching for the people involved.
