    BEDFORD, Ohio ( WJW ) – Dashcam video appears to show an 8-year-old girl behind the wheel of her family’s car over the weekend – and on her way to an Ohio Target .

    Bedford police reported that they found the child safe and shopping, after they said she took a car and drove on busy roads to the popular retail store.

    On Sunday morning, police took a call for the missing child. As they began to investigate, police also took a call “concerning a small child driving east on Rockside Road.”

    In the dashcam video, recorded from a personal vehicle, you can hear a man call the police and report a vehicle behind him “swerving everywhere.”

    Eventually, the swerving driver passes into view of the dashcam and the man can be heard telling dispatchers “It looks like a kid!”

    Officers eventually found the car in the parking lot of a Target store in Bainbridge. Police then found the 8-year-old girl in the store.

    Although the exact route the child took is not clear, Google Maps shows the store is more than 10 miles from where she was reported missing and about a 20-25 minute drive.

    She told officers during her travels she “struck a mailbox.”

    The girl’s relatives were called to the store to get her and the vehicle.

    Police told Nexstar’s FOX 8 I-Team the girl is too young to charge criminally, and they are grateful no one was injured.
