Lacey police say two young children who were inside a car when it was stolen outside a private school have been found safe.

The Olympian newspaper reported authorities found the car and children about 40 minutes later a few blocks from the school.

Police are still searching for a suspect.

The children, between the ages of 3 and 5, were in the back seat of the car when it was taken outside Paramount Christian Academy on Wednesday morning.

School principal Amy Goodwin said the mother left the children in the car while dropping off a third child. She returned to find the car and the kids gone.

Following a K-9 track, officers obtained a search warrant for a home and temporarily detained and questioned two people inside.
