HOUSTON -- A toddler left alone in a sport utility vehicle was found after the SUV was towed on Wednesday afternoon.
Police said shortly before 3:30 p.m., workers at Rhonda Lane Auto Storage found the boy in the back seat after the mother called to tell them her son was inside a vehicle taken there.
Police said the child's 45-year-old aunt left the boy in her vehicle in a private lot near Fondren Road and Pagewood.
"I understand she just went to the school to pick up another child, parked this vehicle in a private property parking lot across the street. And the wrecker driver, doing his job on a daily routine, picked up the car and brings it directly to the storage lot, which is what he's supposed to do," said Sgt. Matt Clark with HPD.
The aunt was arrested. Police said she would probably face child endangerment charges.
The child was checked out by paramedics and was unharmed.
Officials said the whole ordeal lasted about 30 minutes.
