HOUSTON – A teenage girl was found safe after she slept through a carjacking in northwest Houston overnight.

According to the Houston Police Department, it started at 1:30 a.m. Friday at a home in the 6300 block of Milwee.

At that time, a group of suspects carjacked the female victim at her home not realizing that there was a 14-year-old girl asleep in the back seat of the vehicle.

The mother called 911 and was frantic with police.

HPD officers started searching the area, and an officer spotted the car parked in a parking lot at Mangum and Highway 290.

When the officer walked up to the car, the teen was amazingly still asleep in the back seat.

Officers believe the suspects may have seen her, panicked and dumped the car in the parking lot.
