BOSTON – Police have released new photos of the suspect accused of stealing a truck with a baby inside before leaving the child at a Dorchester intersection Friday.
Images released Saturday of the suspect are much clearer than earlier images released Friday.
The new photos show the suspect — a man with a beard, tattoos on both forearms and wearing a gray Boston Red Sox jersey — on a bicycle. Police described the suspect as a stocky, light-skinned Hispanic man, last seen wearing a gray shirt/gray pants with long hair and a beard.
Around 3pm on Friday, officers responded to Geneva Avenue and Leroy Street for a reported kidnapping.
When officers arrived, they learned the victim’s truck had been stolen with her baby still inside the truck.
The suspect drove the stolen truck down Geneva Avenue toward Bowdoin Street.
The baby’s parents told police that while they were parked at 430 Geneva Avenue, they got out of the truck to attend to their two-year-old son. The suspect jumped into his truck and fled toward Bowdoin Street with the child in the truck, police said.

Moments later, the suspect returned to 430 Geneva Avenue and placed the baby, who was still in the car seat, on the sidewalk.
The suspect then drove off in the stolen truck back toward Bowdoin Street.
The baby was reunited with the parents and an ambulance took him to a nearby hospital for evaluation.
About an hour later, officers located the stolen truck at 156 Columbia Road.
