Articles labeled: toddler found under van

A toddler who wandered away from his hotel room was found sleeping under a van in the parking lot.

About 20 Buena Park police officers searched for the boy for 1 1/2 hours after his father William May noticed one of his five children was missing at about 4 a.m. The search ended when an officer found the boy curled up on the parking lot outside the Radisson Suites hotel, said Sgt. William Kohanek.

Police believe the toddler left through a security gate and began looking for his family’s car. After the boy was found, the hotel staff watched a surveillance video and saw the boy running around outside the hotel.

“It looked like he was probably scared,” Kohanek said. “He must have just exhausted himself and crawled under a car to sleep.”
