New Bern officers responded to Lowe’s at 2:30 Saturday morning after receiving a report that the street sweeper used to clean the parking lot had been stolen, and that a child was asleep inside the machine.
When officers arrived, they saw the sweeper abandoned at the intersection of Garden Center and Red Robin lanes. When an officer approached the sweeper, they saw a little girl sleeping inside the cab of the vehicle. Officers woke the girl; she was unharmed.
The driver of the sweeper, who works for a company out of Jacksonville, told officers she brought her 13-year old daughter to work while she was cleaning the lot. The mother had stepped away from the sweeper to clean around the entrance to the Lowe’s building. She left her daughter sleeping in the cab, and told officers when she turned around she saw an unknown man get inside and drive away toward Red Robin Lane. The suspect abandoned the sweeper a few blocks away.
Neither the mother or child were able to provide a description of the suspect.
