Moment 15-year-old steals car with girl, two, inside as her mother goes to fill tires with air at Maryland gas station

Video released by police in Maryland shows the moment a teenager steals a woman's car at a gas station with her 2-year-old daughter still strapped in the backseat.

The footage shows the driver parking her car on June 16 around 9.30am at the station's air pump and vacuum cleaner before getting out to put money in the machine.

As she walks around the rear of the car to the passenger's side, the 15-year-old boy can be seen sneaking up, getting in the driver's side door and speeding off as the victim is left holding the air pump hose.

Montgomery County police reported that the victim's 2-year-old daughter was in the back seat of the car when the theft occurred. 

A witness who saw the incident reportedly followed the car, and watched it stop a few blocks away to let another 15-year-old boy in.

A few moments later, both teens jumped out and ran away, according to the witness, perhaps realizing the baby was in the car with them. 

A short while after, police found two teens matching the carjackers' description in downtown Silver Spring, nearby where the theft occurred.
