Police are looking for a 5-year-old boy after the car he was in was stolen Sunday morning in southwest Houston, according to authorities.
An Amber Alert for the child, Richard Banahene, was issued around 10 a.m. He was in a black 2009 Toyota Corolla when it was taken around 7:30 a.m. from a check cashing business in the 11400 block of Southwest Freeway.
The boy’s mother, Ritah Namusubo, 33, said she had Richard with her after a 12-hour shift and she stopped by the business on her way home.
Richard was sleeping and she kept the car running because it was chilly, she said.
“I didn’t want to turn the heat off,” Namusubo said, standing in the parking lot where her car was taken. “I’m not worried about the car — I just want him.”
“Have some mercy and drop him off,” she continued.
