COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) — Police say four theft suspects have been arrested in Columbia after nearly backing into two mall security guards while trying to flee in a car with an unbuckled 12-day-old baby inside.

Police responded over the weekend to the Columbia Mall. Columbia police spokeswoman Bryana Larimer said in an email that when an officer confronted the four female suspects, they ignored the officer and went to a vehicle in the parking lot.

Police say the vehicle didn’t stop until police and security officers pulled the door open and removed one of the women from the car. Larimer says police found the unbuckled infant after the car stopped.

Larimer says the women had gone to six stores where merchandise had been stolen. No one was hurt.
