A carjacker abandoned a child on the side of the road in Florida after allegedly stealing a car from a mother who had just gotten out to exchange information following an accident.

The Broward County Sheriff’s Office confirmed that the suspect responsible for the alleged carjacking, Willio Petioma, 35, was caught after an anonymous tip led to his arrest. 

Officials said the incident took place on Wednesday, June 26, just before 8:30 a.m., when a call about a stolen vehicle was reported in Oakland Park.

The preliminary investigation revealed the victims, a mother and her 3-year-old daughter, were involved in a car accident with another vehicle. 

On Sunday, June 30, officials said Petioma was taken into custody and booked into the Broward County Sheriff’s Office Main Jail. 

Authorities said he is facing charges that include kidnapping, carjacking, interfering with custody of a minor and illegal use of a credit card. He was also arrested on a Palm Beach County warrant for possession of cocaine and resisting an officer.
