PASIR GUDANG, Sept 20 — A seven-year-old boy was found two hours after he was driven away by a man who stole a Perodua Alza with the victim inside at Taman Kota Masai here today.

The victim was later found safe at Jalan Sentosa 4 in Taman Nusa Damai at 4pm, two hours after he was driven away by the car thief.
