“It’s cold out there,” William Young, a local police officer, explained. “Who knows what could have happened if this particular individual was not able to come outside.”

The Indianapolis Police Department (IMPD) issued an alert on social media at around 3 pm that day, seeking the community’s help in locating the vehicle—a 2013 Hyundai Sonata—with the missing toddlers, a 4-month-old and a 5-month-old, inside.
Both the vehicle and the babies were located quickly, just 20 minutes after the first message was posted by the department’s account. Robert’s help was crucial in keeping the girls safe and warm.

“I’d do it again,” the man told USA Today. “If you see something, like a baby in a ditch, say something (and) do something.”
Robert’s house was reportedly four miles from the location of the theft, which took place around 11 am on East Gimber Street.
Authorities stated that they are in the early stages of determining the identity of those responsible, as the vehicle was empty when they found it.
The man’s swift action saved the babies from freezing, as they were barely protected from the 27ºF temperatures recorded that day

The IMPD’s request for help comes just a few days after they posted a cold weather alert on social media, urging people to call 211 for food and shelter, as well as disability and health-related concerns.
