Police said 3-month-old Dakota Grimes has been found after a Monday morning Amber Alert.

DETROIT -- A 3-month-old girl who police said was driven away in a stolen car Monday morning has been found after an Amber Alert was issued.

Police said the baby's father left her inside a running four-door Chevrolet Impala just before 1 a.m. Monday, outside a Detroit party store.

When the father exited the store, a Whittier Mini Mart in the 16600 block of Harper Avenue, the car was gone, he told police.

An Amber Alert was issued Monday morning, putting thousands on the lookout for the Impala with rear bumper damage and a broken tail light, but police said in a one-line announcement around 8:20 a.m. that Dakota has been located.
