This is what the original article I linked to said (still had it open in another tab)
"A car thief dumped a four-month-old baby on a pavement after realising the child was inside.
The baby was in the back seat of a silver Lexus which was stolen on Hypatia Street in Bolton, Greater Manchester, on Thursday night.
A short time later the thief spotted his passenger and drove back to the street where he left the child, who police said was unhurt.
A 39-year-old man was later arrested on suspicion of kidnap and theft.
Greater Manchester Police (GMP) were alerted to the car theft at about 1715 GMT.
After being told the child had been brought back, officers began searching for a Nissan Micra that the suspect was believed to be driving.
Collision arrest
About 30 minutes later they were called to reports of a collision between a Micra and two other vehicles on Winchester Way.
"Officers attended and discovered a Nissan Micra had collided with a Citroen Xsara and a Volkswagen Passat," said a GMP spokeswoman.
"It is believed the Micra had been used in an earlier incident on Hypatia Street, Bolton just after 5.15pm, where a silver Lexus was stolen.
"A baby was in the back seat of the car at the time of the theft but the child was returned to Hypatia Street a short time later unhurt."
The man, who was arrested at the scene of the collision, remains in custody for questioning."
