Maryland State Police – Aviation Command assisted the PA State Police in rescuing two boys from a hot car after a vehicle pursuit concluded in Pennsylvania. Trooper 5, a helicopter crew stationed in Allegany County, located the abandoned suspect vehicle near the Pennsylvania-Maryland border. 

Yesterday, touching down in a nearby field, Trooper 5 found the children, both aged 3, inside the car. The vehicle was turned off with the windows closed and the doors shut. The boys were unharmed fortunately. Pennsylvania State Police responded and assumed the investigation. 

Troopers from the Maryland State Police McHenry Barrack began a pursuit after receiving a DUI lookout alert from the Garrett County, Maryland Sheriff's Office. MSPAC's efforts prevented what could have been a detremintal outcome.
