ALHAMBRA - The suspect accused of stealing an idling car with a baby on board I was arrested Wednesday after a nosy resident reported a suspicious man in the neighborhood.

Los Angeles man Omar Rubio, 33, allegedly attempted to ditch police on foot when they tried to stop him and question why he was out and about so late around midnight June 3. A resident reported a loud noise and saw a suspicious man in the 700 block of South Almansor Avenue, according to the Alhambra Police Department.

Rubio reportedly fled and sought refuge in an apartment complex, but officers soon located him hiding in front of a parked vehicle in a carport.

Investigators learned of the carjacking and kidnapping suspect’s identity and obtained an arrest warrant, according to the Alhambra Police Department.

Rubio allegedly stole a black 2015 Honda Civic near Hampden Terrace and Sherwood Court May 22. A 3-month-old baby, Cayden Ramey, sat restrained in a car seat. The car apparently left idling while the mother was inside her home, according to authorities.

South Pasadena Police learned the Honda Civic was in their city. A search along Brent Avenue revealed an abandoned car left by the suspect. The baby found inside unharmed.

Rubio was booked on suspicion of kidnapping, stolen vehicle, and child stealing, according to the Alhambra Police Department.

Rubio is being held in lieu of $100,000 bail ahead of a scheduled appearance in Alhambra Superior Court Friday, June 5.
