Norfolk, Va. – Police have sentenced two men in connection with stealing a car with a child inside on November 8.
Xzavier R. Evans, 18, was sentenced to serve four years for one count of grand larceny and one count of abduction.
Troy L. Brown, 20, was also sentenced to serve four years to serve for one count of grand larceny and one count of abduction. In a separate case, Brown was sentenced to serve three months for one count of failure to register as a sex offender.
The 8-year-old boy inside of the stolen car told police that two unknown men got into the car, asked him where he went to school and dropped him off at Ghent Elementary.
Police say the boy’s mother left her son in the car earlier in the morning while she was working at the post office on West 20th Street.
He was listening to music while the keys were in the ignition.
When the woman came outside around 8 a.m. to take her son to school, her Chevy Impala–with her son still inside–was gone.
Police found the boy sitting in class at Ghent Elementary School, completely unharmed.
The abandoned car was found about three miles away from Ghent Elementary on Silbert Road.
