SAN YSIDRO, Calif. – A mother and her baby are safe after a pickup truck they were sleeping in was stolen early Monday morning in San Ysidro.
According to San Diego police, at about 1:30 a.m. a man broke into a 2011 Ford F-150 that was parked in front of a donut shop in the 400 block of West San Ysidro Boulevard. According to police, the child’s grandfather went into the shop and left the truck running.
