PHILADELPHIA - A father-son duo were charged after authorities say they left behind a newborn baby while fleeing from a Philadelphia Walmart after they were caught shoplifting.
Alganon Muhammad, 22, and his father Haamza Muhammad, 41, were each charged with theft, endangering the welfare of a child and related offenses.
Investigators say the men and one other person fled a Northeast Philadelphia Walmart when they were confronted by a store security guard about stealing items.
When the men fled the store, investigators say Alganon Muhammad left behind his infant child in a baby carrier. Alganon was arrested and charged in January.
Haamza Muhammad was already in custody in Chester County when he was charged Monday in the suspected shoplifting case.
