The baby was reunited with its mother after Sweetwater Police say the child was found about a mile and a half away at Long Gong Chinese restaurant, unharmed.
A witness said she saw the mother pull up to the laundromat to pick up clothing and left the child in a car. When she went inside, Munoz got into the car and drove off with the baby inside.
A witness inside the restaurant said a woman came by with the baby and said she'd be right back, but never returned.
