- Share via
A 4-year-old girl was safe at home Saturday after being found in her mother’s abandoned SUV seven miles from where it was carjacked Friday, but police said they still did not have any suspects.
Komal Surani was found inside the sport utility vehicle about 10:30 p.m. Friday near Raymer Street and Bellaire Avenue in North Hollywood, said Los Angeles Police Department Lt. Loren Farell.
The youngster had been missing since 3:30 p.m. Friday, when someone attacked Muniran Surani, the girl’s mother, and took the black Lexus from a Northridge Costco parking lot. Surani had just placed her daughter in a car seat when she was attacked, police said.
Investigators searched the SUV for clues to the identity of the carjacker but have no strong leads, police said Saturday.
