A desperate mom has made a frantic plea to a thief to return her nine-month-old baby girl who was sitting in the back of her dad's Lexus when they stole it.
Cops are urgently searching for Harlow Darby Freeman after she was snatched in the area of Crest Avenue in Parrish, Alabama, at around 6.50pm. Her dad had briefly run into a friend's house when she was taken.
The Parrish Police Department has issued an amber alert as cops desperately call on the public for any information that may help them find the baby who they say is in 'extreme danger'.
Harlow's devastated mom Bethany Smith pleaded to the kidnapper last night on Facebook: 'I'm begging you to please bring by baby to me.'
Harlow, who is white with brown hair and blue eyes, was wearing a tie-dye onesie and light pink shorts when she was taken.
Appealing to the public with a picture of Harlow wearing a giant red bow, cops said they are on the lookout for a 2009 Lexus RX350 with Alabama tag number 3880AR8.
