Indy tow truck takes car with child on board
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – An Indianapolis woman and a tow truck driver are in big trouble with the law.
Robyn Hardy's illegally parked car was towed while her child was still inside the car. Hardy told police she was inside a Family Dollar store for only five minutes.
That was enough time for a tow truck driver to tow her car into a lot.
The truck driver panicked, and took the car and the 7-year-old back.
Police say it was the tow truck driver's responsibility to check the car. They also say he didn't secure the car properly to his truck.
"They have a responsibility to ensure that no one is in that car,” said Kendale Adams of Indy Metro Police.
The tow truck driver was arrested for criminal recklessness. Hardy was also arrested for child neglect.
