An Indianapolis man went outside to check for his mail when he found two baby girls left in a ditch in freezing weather. Robert Deane saw two car seats in the ditch and heard the 4- and 5-month-old infants crying out.

“One of them was screaming, so I immediately grabbed the car seats, brought them inside,”

Deane told local CBS 4.

“We got them warmed up and called 911.”

Before Deane called for help, the Indianapolis police were already alerted about a stolen 2013 Hyundai Sonata about four miles away. The two baby girls, who are cousins, were in the back seat of that car. The police had just started looking for the car and the babies when they got Deane’s call. It’s still unknown how long the babies were left in the freezing 27-degree weather or why they were alone in the car when it was stolen.

The Indianapolis police found the stolen car soon after. They are asking the public for help in identifying who kidnapped the babies, then left them in the cold.
